Maybe we could break your ankle, clean and unsuspiciously.
An ER trip, a doctors slip,
and you could share your pills with me.
Wont it feel so good, though, when were lying,
side by side, cant move, and Im not trying?
2000 milligrams each.
A hotel by the pharmacy with drinking straws in toothpaste tubes.
Stash them with your toiletries and I will share my pills with you.
Little Michael sleeping in the child safety seat,
lying with the windows rolled up, in the August heat.
3000 milligrams each,
4000 milligrams.
Were driving down the interstate,
youre feeling great, you scratch your wrist,
and we pretend your kids, your husband, all you left does not exist.
And in some motel that night were lying,
I can barely whisper its like dying.
Baby, do you know what I mean?
Well baby, did you hear me?
Well baby, you fell asleep.
I know Im weak, I won't deny well see our trial sometime soon.
But when i know were fucked,
Ill halve the pile and share my pills with you.
Cause weve felt fully in our bodies,
and weve felt totally alive,
so were prepared to float above this
dirty bed where we both lie.
Where we lie, lie, lie. Will we be fine?
Not this time.
