Drugs and Junk Food

Here I sit
Sipping wishes like syrup from a spoon
To mask a cough that’s more like a wound
It’s either this or drugs and junk food
I can guess
Which one of them’s gonna hurt me less
A kiss of good luck marks up the flesh
Dear God what a fabulous mess
Of all the tears I’ve cried out loud
I’m only starting now to figure it out
When to my own true self I’m rude
I’ve taken drugs and eaten junk food
Taken drugs and eaten junk food
Still awake
Young lovers in an early morning daze
Wanting half of everything with no grace
Why are the darkest hearts so embraced?
Some old sound
Like a gospel engine coming unwound
The lord’s wings got turned upside down
Loose joints rolled on the cover of Blonde On Blonde
Of all the tears I’ve cried out loud
I’m only starting now to figure it out
When to my own true self I’m rude
I’ve taken drugs and eaten junk food
Taken drugs and eaten junk food
