0:12He was my best friend I tried to help him
0:18But he traded everything for suffering
0:23And found himself alone
0:25I watched the lying turn into hiding
0:32With scars on both his lips his fingertips
0:36Were melted to the bone
0:40But I can still remember what his face looked like
0:43When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
0:47Tell me what you know Tell me what you gone and done now
0:50Tell me what you know Tell me what you gone and done now
0:53Gonna do the trick get it over with
0:56You're better off
0:57To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
1:00To get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)
1:06Three days no sleeping he gave up eating
1:12He sold his mother's rings she said nothing
1:17And pretended not to know
1:19He started stealing to supply the feeling
1:26Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife
1:30And held it to her throat
1:34But I can still remember what his face looked like
1:37When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
1:41Tell me what you know Tell me what you gone and done now
1:44Tell me what you know Tell me what you gone and done now
1:48Gonna do the trick get it over with
1:50You're better off
1:51To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot
1:54Just to get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)
1:58Tell me what did where you gone and hid
2:00Show me
2:01What you really want was it what you got
2:04Slowly
2:04Circle in the drain throw it all away
2:07Just to get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)

He was my best friend  I tried to help him
But he traded everything  for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying  turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips  his fingertips
Were melted to the bone
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know  Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know  Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick  get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
To get high-igh  igh  igh (high-igh  igh  igh)
Three days no sleeping  he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings  she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing  to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife  on someone's wife
And held it to her throat
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know  Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know  Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick  get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh  igh  igh (high-igh  igh  igh)
Tell me what did  where you gone and hid
Show me
What you really want  was it what you got
Slowly
Circle in the drain  throw it all away
Just to get high-igh  igh  igh (high-igh  igh  igh)
High-igh  igh   oooooh
(High-igh-igh-igh  high-igh-igh-igh)
Hiiigh
(High-igh-igh-igh  high-igh-igh-igh)
Hiiigh
Tell me what you know  Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know  Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick  get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh  igh  igh (high-igh  igh  igh)
Tell me what did  where you gone and hid
Show me
What you really want  was it what you got
Slowly
Circle in the drain  throw it all away
Just to get high-igh  igh  igh  igh
Just to get high-igh  igh  igh  igh
Circle in the drain  throw it all away
Just to get high-igh  igh  igh  igh
