Little Blue Pills
Little blue pillsBottles of codeine lyingOn the shelf at dawn.Sleeping soundlyWith traffic gently hummingDown the boulevard.I hate the morning lightBecause with every nightA little earlierIt seems to get too brightIt squeezes through the blindsDissolves into my eyesAnd I hate the sunny side.Calling good friendsAnd calling total strangersMeet me at the bar.Throw the card downAnd leave the fucker openLike I turned twenty-one.And when it's dark insideI'll take a taxi rideDown to the eastern sideBefore it gets too brightLetras de cancionesI pull the curtains downI let my head spin roundAnd my ears ring over the sound.My ears ring over the sound.I upped the dosage and cleared my bank account 'til everything was gone.Now the circles around my eyes grow wider.The lights are always on.And every single nightI hold the covers tightUntil I toss and turnAnd see the creeping lightI turn things off and on and on and off and on.And I sleep for fifteen minutes like an infant 'til alarm clocks buzzThrough the cracks of the windows from the neighboring apartment until I wake upSo I'll slip next paycheck into bottles brown and amber 'til it's all goneSo I'll sleep next paycheck with the fitful fucking terror 'til it's all gone.
