It’s OK Until the Drugs Stop Working

Teenage kicks with messy kids

A lot of love and trust, a local insurrection

What it was is what it is

I have to smile when she offers me protection

It's all fun until the ashtray's full

You call the man, but the man won't come at all

Here comes the fall

And it's all good until the birds start chirping

The strangers leave and the drugs stop working

It's all good until the dawn prevails

And what was in the mail, is it your door again?

And you're alone again

We feel good, but then we should

Because we pay to feel, to feel like we're perfection

A cheeky hug, a proper love

Then it goes dark and I dance with my reflection

It's all fun until the sun comes up

You call the man, but he won't wake up at all

Sunday morning call

And it's all good until the birds start chirping

The strangers leave and the drugs stop working

It's all good until the dawn prevails

And what was in the mail, is it your door again?

The look of lust becomes a beast of burden

You're paranoid and peeking through the curtains

It's way too late now to go to bed

You're in your head and on your own again

You're on your own again

And it's all fun until the birds start chirping

The strangers leave and the drugs stop working

It's all good until the dawn prevails

And what was in the mail, is it your door again?

The look of lust becomes a beast of burden

You're paranoid and peeking through the curtains

It's way too late now to go to bed

You're in your head and on your own again

You're all alone again
