High Doses #2

[Verse 1]

We all woke up that morning

Claw marks on our little faces

The dull thud from the treetops

The echo in the hollow places

Rose up high and lonely

Wringing my hands, grinding my teeth

All the triumph overhead

All the disaster underneath

[Verse 2]

Spat out my morning prayers

Desperate pleas and viscious lies

Felt the sunlight through the grating

Covered up my eyes

Woke up feeling awful

Shook my head to drive the ghosts away

This is just a flesh wound

And it will clear up any day

But the present i got planned for you pricks

Is gonna be a little harder to fix

[Refrain]

Thank god

For small favors

In high doses

[Verse 3]

Heard the voices through the air vents

Listen to them squeal

The great big world is out there

The hidden one beneath my heel

Called up my sister in Reseda

Left a message at the tone

All the points where contact fails us

All of the dead spots in the zone

[Verse 4]

And the acid in my throat

Every time i try to talk

The songs that keep me up at night

Standing on that solid rock

Rose up high and dry and lonely

Stumbled coming out the gate

This is just a paper cut

And it will scab over just you wait

But the cuts that i'll shortly being dealing out

Are gonna give you something to cry about

[Refrain]

Thank god

For small favors

In high doses
