the sun you know it rots my brain
the way i walk is with a cane
the wind it blows it takes me in
and times it turns it makes me thin
my life is going down the drain
my wife you know she went insane
my kids are messed up in the brain
but when i'm high i feel no shame
when my mind won't hold still
when i feel the sickening chills
when i feel i've had my fill
and every voice i hear is shrill
i calm myself with whiskey and pills
i calm myself with whiskey and pills
the people i know
their number's changed
their view of me is rearranged
the way i see they're really strange
i've got no reason to play their games
yeah
they look at me with eyes a stare
i look at them but i don't care
i tell them all
what's fair is fair
and here and there and everywhere
when my mind won't hold still
when i feel the sickly chills
when i feel i've had my fill
and every voice i hear is shrill
i call upon my friends
whiskey and pills
i call upon my friends
whiskey and pills
ooh
ooh
whiskey and pills
when you see me
i'm a-roaming around
my face hits the pavement
yes i'm on the ground
turn me around
see if i'm okay
check out this smile
that's on my face
i never thought i was gonna die
until i stared into god's eyes
he said to me well
