Ketamine
On my 19th birthday, I woke in a cell
Covered in paint, hungover as hell
We never knew when to give up back then
I'm still oddly proud of the flaws that I had
The BBC would say that I have recovered
But that's pretty far from the truth
I never did feel that I had suffered
At the hands of narcotic abuse
Ketamine, Ketamine, flow underneath my skin
Slow down the world, help me keep smiling
One for the road, two to forget my sins
Three to share love with my friends
Ketamine, Ketamine, help me to settle in
Drive somewhere nice for a line
Ketamine, Ketamine, I don't regret a thing
You'll always be a friend of mine, a friend of mine
On his 25th birthday, a friend woke in the hospital
Visibly shaken, his silence was powerful
It was him that I'd fought to protect from himself
When I was arrested back in the day
A couple weeks later, I heard he was selling it
Looking back now, I should have told him to stop that shit
Don't get me wrong here, I had a blast
But some things are best left in the past
Ketamine, Ketamine, flow underneath my skin
Slow down the world, help me keep smiling
One for the road, two to forget my sins
Three to share love with my friends
Ketamine, Ketamine, help me to settle in
Drive somewhere nice for a line
Ketamine, Ketamine, I don't regret a thing
You'll always be a friend of mine
Last week I was called by a mutual friend
His breathing uneven, voice was so hesitant
Collected himself, he asked me to sit
And I knew I was about to get beaten the shit out of
His mother had found him, he'd died in his sleep
Ketamine around him, his top lip like bleach
Back at the hospital, his heart wouldn't beat any more
A few days later we met at his funeral
Loved ones around him, the service was beautiful
After the wake there were beers and then there were lines
But I couldn't face
Ketamine, Ketamine, flow underneath my skin
Slow down the world, help me keep smiling
One for the road, two to forget my sins
Three to share love with my friends
Ketamine, Ketamine, help me to settle in
Drive somewhere nice for a line
Ketamine, Ketamine, you bastard and hateful thing
You took away a friend of mine
A friend of mine
Covered in paint, hungover as hell
We never knew when to give up back then
I'm still oddly proud of the flaws that I had
The BBC would say that I have recovered
But that's pretty far from the truth
I never did feel that I had suffered
At the hands of narcotic abuse
Ketamine, Ketamine, flow underneath my skin
Slow down the world, help me keep smiling
One for the road, two to forget my sins
Three to share love with my friends
Ketamine, Ketamine, help me to settle in
Drive somewhere nice for a line
Ketamine, Ketamine, I don't regret a thing
You'll always be a friend of mine, a friend of mine
On his 25th birthday, a friend woke in the hospital
Visibly shaken, his silence was powerful
It was him that I'd fought to protect from himself
When I was arrested back in the day

Looking back now, I should have told him to stop that shit
Don't get me wrong here, I had a blast
But some things are best left in the past
Ketamine, Ketamine, flow underneath my skin
Slow down the world, help me keep smiling
One for the road, two to forget my sins
Three to share love with my friends
Ketamine, Ketamine, help me to settle in
Drive somewhere nice for a line
Ketamine, Ketamine, I don't regret a thing
You'll always be a friend of mine

Drive somewhere nice for a line
Ketamine, Ketamine, you bastard and hateful thing
You took away a friend of mine
A friend of mine
