Billy Idol - Whiskey And Pills lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

The sun you know it rots my brain

The way I walk is with a cane

The wind it blows it takes me in

& times it turns it makes me thin

My life is goin' down the drain

My wife you know she went insane

My kids are messed up in the brain

But when I’m high I feel no shame

(Chorus)

When my mind won’t hold still

When I feel the sickenin' chills

When I feel I’ve had my fill

& every voice I hear is shrill

I calm myself with whiskey & pills

I calm myself with whiskey & pills

(Verse 2)

The people I know, their number’s changed

Their view of me is rearranged

The way I see they’re really strange

I’ve got no reason to play their games, yeah

They look at me with eyes a stare

I look at them but I don’t care

I tell them all, what’s fair is fair

& here & there & everywhere

(Chorus)

When my mind won’t hold still

When I feel the sickly chills

When I feel I’ve had my fill

& every voice I hear is shrill

I call upon my friends

Whiskey & pills I call upon my friends

Whiskey & pills oh, oh, whiskey & pills

(Bridge)

When you see me I’m a-roamin' around

My face hits the pavement yes, I’m on the ground

Turn me around, see if I’m okey

Check out this smile that’s on my face

(Chorus)

I neva thought I was gonna die

Until I stared into God’s eyes

He said to me well, come on son

Betta shape up boy, yo days are done

Up my mind I got the chills

Even though he talked with skill

Of the voice I heard the shrill

It was a sound I had to kill

I turned around & grabbed

The whiskey & pills

Can’t say goodbye to whiskey & pills

I call upon my friends whiskey & pills

I calm myself with whiskey & pills
