Lyrics[]

Hey, where's my pills
They were sitting on the windowsill
Should have known something was wrong
When last week you took my favorite bong
Now it's gone
You're messing with my drug life
Quit messing with my drug life

Dimebags flash up the Union Square
People walk in serotonin pairs
I remember it was only play
Devil sucking up the protégés
Just shuffle off through the golden mist
Take a number 'cause you're on my list
And later on Second Avenue
If it comes down to the drugs or you
Baby, we're through
Because you're messing with my drug life
You're messing with my drug life, yeah
Quit messing with my drug life
Na na na na
