[Verse 1a]
I did cocaine in Memphis, Tennessee
Underneath the ghost of Elvis Presley
And no it didn't do a god damn thing for me
Except make me wanna go and do more
[Verse 1b]
It's a habit that I like to abuse
After a long hard day of being misused
My socks are gone, somebody stole my shoes
And now my feet are cracked and blistered and sore
[Chorus 1]
Grab me up another needle and spoon
I'll be there soon up there with you-oo-hoo
Tell me whatcha think I should do?
Hard to think about, when all I think about is you
[Verse 2a]
She was the circumstancе that I could not surpass
All my viable solutions must have truly sounded crass
Whеn I stood up on my feet I fell back down on my ass
Just to see I'm sick and twisted to the core
[Verse 2b]
There's something I don't know how to explain
How this parasite inside me's rearranging my entire brain
I swear sometimes I feel as though I've gone insane
Then I see I really only wanted more
[Chorus 2]
Looks like I dug this hole I'm in too soon
I ain't got no moon to light this road that I've been travelling blue
I've been stuck here with these folks that I knew
Who left their ghosts behind to show me how to smile when I'm thinking of you
[Outro]
Here with these ghosts of you
Here with these ghosts of you-oo-oo-oo
(That was rough)
