Up & Down

a rollercoaster ride of thrill spills chills and little white pills

if i’m high i’m getting up

an if i’m low... i’m down

fast or slow, h or go

whatever’s going around

you got it ill take it

then i’ll want some more

we’ll lick the bag

then go out and score

i’ll take a blotter acid trip

or a big fresh mushie feed

i’ll neck your oxys

i'll blast your speed

smoke your pot

or scarf your pills

snort all of your coke up

in five dollar bills

but then...

all strung out on heroin

(still easier than giving up cigarettes)

dredging bong stems for grot

(stemming...)

turning everything upside down

(frenzied is the word you're looking for)

looking for a hidden shot

(knowing the whole time there was nothing there)

shaking like a shitting dog

haven't slept for days

this is just a part of the game

this is how it plays

getting clean aint much fun

but neither is puking in the street

sometimes its flat out spreagled at the bottom

sometimes it cannot be beat

some of you will take heart

because you know exactly what i mean

we will always be addicts

just sometimes we'll be clean

but that wont stop our want

it wont help to curb the need

enjoy what you got now

it's better than watching us bleed

if i’m high i’m getting up

an if i’m low i’m down

fast or slow, h or go

or whatever’s going around

i gotta dedication for medication

and i got it all the time

cause all we got is time

cause all i got is time!
