lyrics

one pill to
wake me up
two pills
to get out out there
three pills
to face the day
four
to not run away

i need
magical dust
cause to need
is a must

i need
but i want
need to be
but i can not

one pill to forgive
two pills to forget
three pills to let it be
four to try to be

one to wake up
one to fall asleep
one to calm the pain
one to dream

one to eat
one to shit
one for sex
one to escape from myself

some needs the pain to live
some wants more pain to reign
some refuses the cures
some sings the blues

some needs the pain to live
some wants more pain to reign
some jump on the bones
some fall from
the bathroom thrones
