Takes one, to know one, I know how you feel You got your hunger and some problems that are real And you're dealing with some demons who are driving you insane And I've seen them drag you screaming down the hallways, of your brain You got loaded again Ain't you handsome when you're high? Nothing matters Chase that feeling 'til you die Let it right in there Let it run your life Let it run your children off Let it run your wife Let it take the joy you love Turn it to despair You know, you know better You just don't care 'Cause you got loaded again Ain't you handsome when you're high? Nothing matters Chase that feeling 'til you die Blame it on the midnight Think of number one Tangled up in two while you were shining like the sun With a pretty piece of hunger who was younger than her eyes I begin to wonder how it is you're still alive 'Cause you got loaded again Ain't you handsome when you're high? Nothing matters Chase that feeling 'til you die Nothing matters Chase that feeling 'til you die
