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.
