I Am The Drug - Ed Harcourt

Once I was a shadow of a man

Most dark nights my head was in it’s hands

I begged God to cure my aching limbs

But he did nothing, he gave me no advice

Didn’t this God abandon Jesus Christ?

Oh if it comes to you, I’ll die for your sins

I am the drug that you’ve been waiting for

An urgent craving you cannot ignore

I am the fix that you come back for more

I am the drug

Bring out the dead, I’ll show them how to live

Free their souls and watch them slowly drift

Like feathers of a wounded bird

I was wrapped up in a wooden box

Ball and chain, head out on the block

Oh, I wonder if you could say the final word?

I am the drug that you’ve been waiting for

An urgent craving you cannot ignore

I am the fix that you come back for more

I am the drug

This is not a flash, a figment of your imagination

I am much more then a first degree of separation

Without me all the lines of reality will blur

And the wall will breathe, close in like some forgotten curse

I am the drug that you’ve been waiting for

An urgent craving you cannot ignore

I am the fix that you come back for more

I am the drug
