Opiated Lyrics

He bought two fifths of lead-free gasoline
Said, "the bottle is dusty, but my engine is clean"
He bought a nice blue suit with the money he could find
If his bride didn't like it, St. Peter wouldn't mind

Now I lie here so out-of-breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up, no, but
Maybe he could have waited

Well the medicine man started seeing red
You'd think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head
While addicted to approval, addicted to the air
It was see if you like it or see you up there

Well, now I lie here so out-of-breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up, no, but
Maybe he could have waited

Now I lie here so out-of-breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up, no, but
Maybe he could have waited

Now I lie here so out-of-breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up, no, but
Maybe he could have waited
Maybe he could have waited
Maybe he could have waited
