Lou Reed plays
Sweet Jane
as i consider
your pain

ya better take care now
because
I believe
people are known to
have gone missing in methamphetamine

one day you are here
and the next
you won't answer
the phone

when your landlord rings
you pretend nobody's home
and your new friends
steal bicycles to keep
up their end

and pizza cartons
stack up, it's a long
walk to the garbage bin

and suddenly when you watch
sports you prefer the javelin
this is when I walked out
and you decided to stay

i offered advice, contacts
but you were cold as ice
you just weren't very nice

ya better take care now
because
I believe
people are known to
get lost in speed
yeah, people I know
have gone missing
in methamphetamine

You'll be different
scarred by life
and the long road back
from a habit you can't shake
with a cold shower
and a towel wrapped around
your head
seems like you don't even try

and it won't always
feel so nice
cause it's
scratching
at your soul

it's a bear yes it's a
monkey on your back
as you continue
to have daily
panic attacks

So where does that leave
you and me
it will take some years
to mend
this relationship
with its debris

and hopefully I'll
still be sitting here
writing in my
panoramic tower
writing poetry
exposing my fears
counting my tears

i hope it all comes
to a happy end
and on this
drug
you'll no longer
come to depend

and we can pick
up the pieces
and start over again...
