These Drugs Aren't Working
Sure a little Adderall would lift your back up off against the wall When the work began to pile And yes, it's true that ecstasy brings out the sweeter side of me And gets me dancing for a little while And a little weed would let us watch TV in peace together As the afternoon would fade into the evening But as you're holding me tonight there's something that's not right I should be high by now but I don't feel a thing The drugs aren't working the way that they used to There's nothing they show me that I haven't seen Feels like we've been here before, and it's no fun anymore And it's too late to start over new And though it's dark in this room I see your face glowing blue By the static of the TV screen These drugs aren't working the way that they used to The nothings we whisper in bed have gone stale And I've been racking my brain to write a better refrain Something romantic I might whisper to you But I got nothing because, it's like I told you “These drugs aren't working the way that they used to” Now, Victoria's a sorcerer, but she don't believe in magic anymore Night after night, from town to town, she packs the clubs then tears 'em down SongtexteAnd leaves her heart still beating on the floor “Oh, Dougie what's the use?” she says “My loves a flood that never ends And I fear I may be slowly disappearing” I say, “We lead such different lives And it ain't exactly great advice But if you want this song it's yours to sing” The drugs aren't working the way that they used to There's nothing they show me that I haven't seen Feels like we've been here before And it's no fun anymore And it's too late to start over new And though it's dark in this room I see your face glowing blue By the static of the TV screen These drugs aren't working the way that they used to The nothings we whisper in bed have gone stale And I've been racking my brain to write a better refrain Something romantic I might whisper to you But I got nothing because, it's like I told you “These drugs aren't working the way that they used to" But I got nothing because, it's like I told you “These drugs aren't working the way that they used to" Aus Songtexte Mania
