lyrics

Zack picks up the phone and he blows all his rent
There is no thought if it’s wrong or right
Night out on the town thinking nothing at all
He takes steps close to the edge
Tied off, he wonders as the fork tells spoonful lies
In the back of his mind that someday he might
Take back control of his life
Zacks on tar and china white heroin
He shakes so hard with the bugs under the skin
And all the while he’s trying just to buy himself some time
And although he’s dying on the inside he says he’s fine
Back when Zack was a kid he had so many dreams
Now he sleeps in the back of his car
And he cuts it up to feel nothing at all
His hopeful youth has been spent
Now and then he wanders down to lower Wacker drive
Still the wind isn’t kind and the cold chills his spine
He thinks why should he even try
Zacks on tar and china white heroin
He shakes so hard with the bugs under the skin
And all the while he’s trying just to buy himself some time
And although he’s dying on the inside he says he’s fine
It’s dragging him down
It’s not despair that he wants
He tries like hell and prays for it to stop
Zacks on tar and china white heroin
He shakes so hard with the bugs under the skin
And all the while he’s trying just to buy himself some time
And although he’s dying on the inside he says he’s fine
