Sensible Junkie

[Song builds from acoustic sparseness to soaring anthem] [Verse 1] Glassy eyed glazing, a hand on the bottle A foot in a grave with a number and a name [Verse 2] He fed thirteen children on a limp that he practiced And the money he made selling pills and cocaine His mind was wide open, had a love for the learning His head was still good with the game But his heart was now blackened as the spoons that he's hidden And the tracks that had tarnished his name [Chorus] Sensible junkie, you'll outsmart another bad day Sensible junkie, you're wise to your own fatal ways Outthink the anguish, a pavement prescription for pain Sensible junkie, you win at a loser's last game [Verse 3] Despite how elaborate the plans for his habit The sensible junkie got taken one day As the pin hit him more, and he couldn't score The demons put all of their tricks on display As he shuddered and shook to break from his hook His wits found him there where he lay His prayers flew freely as the trigger pulled easy And he beat the devil at his own damn game [Chorus] Sensible junkie, you'll outsmart another bad day Sensible junkie, you're wise to your own fatal ways Outthink the anguish, a pavement prescription for pain Sensible junkie, you'll win at a loser's last game Sensible junkie, you'll outsmart another bad day Sensible junkie, you're wise to your own fatal ways Outthink the anguish, a pavement prescription for pain Sensible junkie, you win at a loser's last game Sensible junkie, you'll win at a loser's last game
