Scarred To The Bone Lyrics

Scarred To The Bone

I want to tell you a story



About a man who did die



And all he wanted from living



Was the chance to get high



So he set out to driving



To do his dealing and score



Well, he climbed up that mountain



Yeah, yeah, ha had to have more







He had to get high







Next step up the ladder



Was a needle so fine



Just a crack-headed buster



What better reason to fly



He had a wife and some children



And a Cadillac too



He's got his head down that spiral



There's nothing that we can do







He had to get high



So high



Let's get high







[Chorus:]



He's lying alone in the gutter at night



No friends to help him, nobody in sight



Done all his talking to angels alone



No hope in this life



When you're scarred to the bone







Y'know there's no death or glory



When you're riding the wind



Just the crash and explosion



Of your head giving in



Turning left at damnation



Turning right at the fire



In your veins there's a burning



For your quest to get high







He had to get high



So high



Let's get high
