(Verse 1)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.(Chorus)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 knowTell me what you've gone and done nowTell me what you knowTell me what you've gone and done nowA gun would do the trickTo get it over withYou're better offTo take all that you got and burn it on the spot,Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).(Verse 2)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.(Extended Chorus)But I can still remember what his face looked like,When I found him in an alley in the middle of the nightTell me what you knowTell me what you've gone and done nowTell me what you knowTell me what you've gone and done nowA gun would do the trickTo get it over withYou're better offTo take all that you got and burn it on the spot,Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).Tell me what you didWhere you got it hidShow meIs what you really wantWatching what you've got?SlowlyCircling the drainThrow it all awayJust to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).High-igh, igh...oooooh!Tell me what you knowTell me what you've gone and done nowTell me what you knowTell me what you've gone and done nowA gun would do the trickTo get it over withYou're better offTo 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 didWhere you got it hidShow meIs what you really wantWatching what you've got?SlowlyCircling drainThrow it all awayJust to get high-igh, igh, igh, ighJust to get high-igh, igh, igh, ighCircling the drainThrow it all awayJust to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh.
