[Verse 1] Shoes planted on the sidewalk Face hanging to the ground Bent over at the waistline But you won't tumble down Backpack hanging open Hands frozen at your side Standing like a statue While the whole damn world goes by [Pre-Chorus] What’d you buy? What’d you take? How long you gonna stand that way? Half awake and half asleep Folded over to your feet [Chorus] What’s drugs.....got to do with it? What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Down on Skid Row Everybody does the lean What’s drugs.....got to do with it? What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Hell, it’s got everything to do with it Like the strangest thing you’ve seen [Verse 2] Street lights cut through midnight white lights paint the wall Bodies bent like question marks But they never fall Hours in the same place Lost somewhere inside Concrete keeps on burning Underneath the city lights [Pre-Chorus] What’d you buy? What’d you take? How long you gonna stand that way? Half awake and half asleep Folded over to your feet [Chorus] What’s drugs.....got to do with it? What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Down on Skid Row Everybody does the lean What’s drugs.....got to do with it? What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Hell, it’s got everything to do with it Like the strangest thing you’ve seen [Bridge] No wind could hold you steady No string could keep you there Your feet are on the sidewalk But your mind is God knows where I call your name—you don’t move I wave my hand—you don’t see The city keeps on walking Past human scenery [Dirty Slide-Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] What’s drugs.....got to do with it? What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Down on Skid Row Everybody does the lean What’s drugs.....got to do with it? What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Hell, it’s got everything to do with it Like the strangest thing you’ve seen What’s drugs.....got to do with it? Don’t tell me it ain’t real Bent beneath the city lights Too numb to even feel
