verse
Burning up and shooting up and bring on the brightness
See the son of God is coming up and I see a likeness
Internalize the lunacy, the misery is showing
When you're brought up, you're caught up in a system that is going
pre-chorus
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
chorus
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
verse
What do, what do, what do, what do I desire
Some parents' house is on fire
Slowly the house gonna burn to the ground
The neighborhood will watch without a sound
verse
Will someone be a witness, please tell me that he's crazy
But he's not and they know that and can't get him 'cause he's not crazy
Beat him, lock him, knock him, take away his authority
Hit 'em, ship 'em, club 'em, submitted conformity
pre-chorus
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
chorus
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
verse
You were in the vein clairvoyant
You were in the vein clairvoyant
I make love to my transistor
And my transparency from the balcony
I looked out on the big field
On the big field, it opens like the cover of an old bible
Their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
I stand on my head watching it all go away
pre-chorus
Burning up and shooting up and bring on the brightness
See the son of God is coming up and there is a likeness
Internalize the lunacy, the misery is showing
You're brought up and you're caught up in a system that is going
pre-chorus
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
chorus
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
Junkie man, tell me what your story is
