| "Till Meth Do Us Part" | |
| TILL METH DO US PART They had me rehabbin In an old log cabin Just this side of sanity, Somewhere in the outback. I was close to thinking That my drugs and drinking Were vessels of vanity - Clay cups that I had to crack. “Till meth do us part!” They sang at the start Of the wedding of Me, drugs, and alcohol. Pink elephants withered, Snakes no longer slithered; The dark demons departed. Slowly they all left my sight. I formed my first clear thought; Like old Sir Lancelot And Richard the Lion-Hearted, I had new dragons to fight. “Till meth do us part!” They sang at the start Of the wedding of Me, drugs, and alcohol. BRIDGE: First steps like your third cousin, Some distant relative On the fringe of your family tree. Soon, youve taken a dozen, And you find that you can live Wholly, totally free. You know youre lucky when You can go home again. When the folks that youve done wrong Say they forgive and forget. You know you owe a debt To those who helped you get To where you could write this song. Invite them to sing along. “Till meth do us part!” They sang at the start Of the wedding of Me, drugs, and alcohol. Now, that divorce decree, That was signed by me In sweat, tears, and blood, Is hanging on the wall And Im here standing tall. Copyright 2007 Lex Zaleta | |
