lyrics

Now, if you want, we can drive into town.
Maybe pick up the drugs cause' your prescription ran out.
It's no secret that you defend your means when they're at odd with your ends.

I'll pick you up when you're down with the pharmacy;
You can take the back seat if you need to sleep.
We can go anywhere you want just stick with me.

Once we spoke of love inside a taxicab,
With chewing gum stuck to the back of my leg.
Now something evil is going down as the lights ahead turn red on the way, downtown.

I'll pick you up when you're down with the pharmacy;
You can take the back seat if you need to sleep.
We can go anywhere you want just stick with me.
Cause' I know you better than you think I do,
Maybe I got what you need just to see it through;
Whatever it is, don't be afraid to.

Let me say it straight and you can hold me to this.
Don't confuse this pain with another man's bliss.
Cause' it's getting harder watching from outside.
If you want it badly I know for sure you'll try.

I'll pick you up when you're down with the pharmacy;
You can take the back seat if you need to sleep.
We can go anywhere you want just stick with me.
Cause' I know you better than you think I do,
Maybe I got what you need just to see it through;
Whatever it is, don't be afraid to.
