New Drugs

I've been waiting for thunder
I'll be waiting for rain
I've been talking to the wise mine
he puts my fears to shame

I feel an urge for the immolation
I'm burning out my self control
I've got a taste for contamination
a slow crawl through a closing door

I have to settle down
Have to settle down now
for less than what I'm worth
A drying taste of parched earth

Where are the new drugs?
Where are the new days?
I need a prayer just to keep the lights off
I need a song just to find my way

Where are the new drugs?
Where are the new days?
I might drown if you keep it a secret
I don't doubt you'd like me better that way

I've been waiting for lightning
I'll be counting the days
I've been talking to the wise man
He puts my words to shame

I hear the coming of a separation
A slow dance 'til we kiss the floor
I've got a hunger for intoxication
It's not the same as it was before

I have to settle down
Have to settle down now
For less than what it's worth
A drying taste of parched earth

Well you know the whole story
Of how me must grow old
How love turns to labor
How the spirit gets sold

But I'm not your highest bidder
I'm just the light from the ocean floor
I'll turn and wave good bye if I have to
But not before I ask for more

Where are the new drugs?
Where are the new days?
I need a prayer just to keep the lights off
I need a fuck just to find my way

Where are the new drugs?
Where are the new games?
I might drown if you keep it a secret
I need a better way to end my days
