lyrics

The people who have it use it to get what they need;
they trip on a tablet, ‘cause it feels so good to speed.
And nobody comes down, ‘cause they never want you to know
that this is the way that they wanted to go.

Somebody happened to breathe in some terrible fumes;
it’s hard to imagine her head wasn’t filled with balloons.
And nobody realized that she wouldn’t want them to know
that this is the way that she wanted to go.

You didn’t put it in, so you couldn’t get it out;
you spent your life living in the shadow of doubt.
You never really knew what it was all about,
but you’ll find out… cause you wanted to go.

And there were never
times I thought we’d last forever.
And there were good times then-
that’s why this good time has to end.

The people who need it use it to get what they want;
they show it to everybody, ‘cause it feels so good to flaunt.
And nobody asks you if you wouldn’t want them to know
that this is the way that you wanted to go.
