I Am The Drug Lyrics - Ed Harcourt

Once I was a shadow of a man 

Most dark nights my head was in it's hands 

I begged God to cure my aching limbs 

But he did nothing, he gave me no advice 

Didn't this God abandon Jesus Christ? 

Oh if it comes to you, I'll die for your sins 

I am the drug that you've been waiting for 

An urgent craving you cannot ignore 

I am the fix that you come back for more 

I am the drug 

Bring out the dead, I'll show them how to live 

Free their souls and watch them slowly drift 

Like feathers of a wounded bird 

I was wrapped up in a wooden box 

Ball and chain, head out on the block 

Oh, I wonder if you could say the final word? 

I am the drug that you've been waiting for 

An urgent craving you cannot ignore 

I am the fix that you come back for more 

I am the drug 

This is not a flash, a figment of your imagination 

I am much more then a first degree of separation 

Without me all the lines of reality will blur 

And the wall will breathe, close in like some forgotten curse 

I am the drug that you've been waiting for 

An urgent craving you cannot ignore 

I am the fix that you come back for more 

I am the drug
