When the dealer hits my back I turn around to see his face his pounded jaw his bleeding nose and I ask for an overdose of love
I want it now I need it all right before my head comes falling down see my friend he's born in a wishing well now you find him lying at the gates of hell
there's too much violence in my dreams there's too much hate running in my veins see I got a pirate soul to lend I got my head right in my hand
it's for you as a gift you can take 'cause I know how it feels to be down on my knees you've been up, now you're down with no guidance from above while the cold wind blows in this town full of dogs
gimme hope gimme fear gimme love and despair gimme loads of your drug and a reasonable fuck your burdon and your weight gimme all that I can take 'cause you know I'd love to carry it all for you
