Sent Along

I stumble
I fall
I cry to you all
	as the tears roll down my face


Liar, Conniver
  Sinner
No Beginner
	my life goes to waste

A bullet
  a rope
A knife and a pill
   	Misery be over…killing me still

Been up
   been down
I cannot be found
	as I wander in my heart

Been sweet
  been cruel
Been breaking every rule
	my soul falls apart

A toke
   a line
A can and a stem
	All life taken over by them

My excuse is the same
   if you know what I mean
I’m an addict
  God damn it I got a disease
No booze, no dope, no coke, no rock
   clean and serene far from my block
Engaging still in my life of lies
Up and Down. Join the coaster ride
I think I’ll go to the doctor
   I need to see what’s wrong
She gives me some pills and 
      Sends me Along
