My Addiction

It's the still of the night and I can't sleep a wink
Because a fix I can't have is storming my mind
And shaking my body.
I see what's not there and reach but I can't grab.
I shudder and groan and cry, but that won't
Bring the stuff I need.
The smells are in my nose, the excitement in my blood
But it's just tricks of the mind because the vision before
My eyes is miles away and feeding others' addictions.
I toss and turn and promise myself I'll do anything to
Find it, anything to get my fix.
Bail on my job, lie, con; this addiction my heart beats for
Will kill me because life without it just ain't worth it.
Somewhere along the way I'll realize it's a hopeless cause.
No home, no job, no money, my fix will stay away till I can
Do something for myself.
A happy moment that'll be, when I can finally hold my drug
And sniff till the hairspray chokes me, and stare till your eyes
Blink and hide from mine.
A happy moment that'll be, when I can finally hold you, because
Baby, I'm addicted to you.
