Junkie's Promise

[Thurston]

a hundred dollars used to be more than enough

and now a hundred times a day and still it's not enough

people always tell me you get what you deserve

all I know is all and all is all I've heard

I heard you say: "you know I hate myself

but I love everybody else"

and did you say: "I can't escape myself"

and then you did and now there's no one else

to blame you know that I know yeah that times are rough

I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough

people always tell me that you've got to lend a helping hand

nothing in return is all I expect from you my friend

I heard you say: "you know I hate myself

but I love everybody else"

and did you say: "I can't escape myself"

and then you did and now there's no one else

I heard you say: "you know I hate myself

but I love everybody else"

and did you say: "I can't escape myself"

and then you do and now there's no one else
