Tism - And The Ass Said To The Angel: 'Wanna' Play Kick To Kick' lyrics

Talk to anyone these days and you know, it seems, Eventually they'll tell you about some heavy scenes When they were living "with a druggie friend" You gotta look real serious, or at least pretend While with a reverend awe, like they're reading a psalm They tell you about some jerk poking a needle in his arm And dramatically conclude "you know, the guy was a freak" But it's the eighth drug story you've heard this week Well I knew a guy; he tops the lot He wasn't on h**n, crack or pot But it was worse than anything out of 'Monkey Grip' He did the 'Happy Marriage In Suburbia' trip You know I still don't know how this guy never got busted For being so incredibly well-adjusted While we were all shoving chemicals up our nose, he was out in the garden with a watering hose At first only small things began to go wrong He wouldn't turn up when we were having a bong But sooner than later things began to fall apart He'd take his girl out regular, eat a la carte He'd look healthy and happy, it was like an alarm He was collapsing like the veins in my arm I'll never forget that terrible night, oh God above When he told us he was very much in love So they both bought a house, there was no turning back They got into it the week that I got into crack His face was never so ravaged with addiction As the week he showed me his brand new kitchen I'd sometimes go 'round there with a cap or two of horse Tell him "Kick the habit, get a divorce" "Your wife's pregnant again" I plead "This'll make three If you have another kid you're sure to OD" But he's not even listening, he's in some delirium His wife's doing the dishes and he's begun clearing 'em "I love my kids, I'm happy" he'd say satisfied But don't you know, on the nappy he was crucified He's dead now, of course - needless to say Family wiped off by a drunk going the wrong way Oh, how many times has it been written, said or sung, That if you live monogamous, expect to die young? So, you can get into crack, smack, dope or speed But don't take marriage 'cause this is where it'll lead You experience real happiness, both physical and mental And if you die it'll be purely accidental.
