There are things that I´ve done that has been good and alright.
But mostly I´ve been suffering from wounds and snakbites.
When thunderstorms are raging I gotta go and buy a kite.
And I´ll snort any powder that´s cheap and white.

That´s just the way it is
I live in a self-destructive way
I need a cocktail based on poison
To get me through the day.

I´m slurping up a mixture from the drinkbook of Jim Jones.
Yeah, I can´t resist a bottle with them skull and bones.
Gotta get some action and I don´t care in which way.
Paid the maker a visit but he didn´t want me anyway.

That´s just the way it is
I live in a self-destructive way
I need a cocktail based on poison
To get me through the day.

I feel like an attraction in some freakshow act.
But this is how I live and there is no way back.
I spin the chamber when the days get slow.
I´ve cheated death ten days in a row.
