And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the trucks don't work
So I'll take a hearse
But I know I'll see your face again
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
I don't like the trucks,
but the trucks like me
i don't like the drugs,
but the drugs like me
Just let me know, and I'll sing in urea again
Just let me know, and I'll sing in your ear again
Now the dogs don't talk
Now the drugs don't work
Now the doors don't work
Now the drugs don't work
Now the drones don't work
Now the drugs don't work
Now the drums don't work
Now the drugs don't work
Now the trucks don't work.
Now the drugs don't work.
Now the trucks don't work
They just make you worse
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
Now the trucks don't work
They're stuck in reverse.
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse.
The tropes don't work
The drugs don't work
The trucks don't work
They just make life worse.
The drugs don't work
They just make you worse.
The trucks don't work
The drugs don't work
You leave my life, I'm better off then
You leave my life, I'm better off dead
