I Am the Drug

Once I was a shadow of a man Most dark nights my head was in it's hands I begged God to cure my aching limbs But he did nothing, he gave me no advice Didn't this God abandon Jesus Christ? Oh if it comes to you, I'll die for your sins I am the drug that you've been waiting for An urgent craving you cannot ignore I am the fix that you come back for more I am the drug Bring out the dead, I'll show them how to live Free their souls and watch them slowly drift Like feathers of a wounded bird I was wrapped up in a wooden box Ball and chain, head out on the block Oh, I wonder if you could say the final word? I am the drug that you've been waiting for An urgent craving you cannot ignore I am the fix that you come back for more I am the drug This is not a flash, a figment of your imagination I am much more then a first degree of separation Without me all the lines of reality will blur And the wall will breathe, close in like some forgotten curse I am the drug that you've been waiting for An urgent craving you cannot ignore I am the fix that you come back for more I am the drug --- I Am the Drug - Ed Harcourt
