Give Me The Cure Lyrics
Fugazi
Lyrics
i never thought too hard on dying before
i never sucked on the dying
i never licked the side of dying before
and now i'm feeling the dying
you've got your hands over your ears
you've got your mouth running on
you've got your eyes looking for something that will never be found
like a reason, good god i don't need a reason
i never thought too hard on dying before
i never thought on the dying
i never ever had the dying before
and now i'm feeling the dying
and you've got to give me the shot
give me the pill
give me the cure
now what you've done to my world
i never thought too hard on dying before
i never thought on the dying
i never walked the side of dying before
and now i'm feeling the dying
(it breaks it breaks it breaks, yeah)
under your skin
cap over your eyes
im at the tip of your finger
(it breaks it breaks it breaks, yeah)
Tell me the reason
give me the shot
give me the pill
give me the cure
(it breaks it breaks it breaks)
now what youve done to my world
Coming around,
Coming around,
Coming around,
Coming DOWN
give me the shot
give me the pill
give me the cure
now what you've done to my world
give me the shot
now c'mon give me the pill
give me the cure
now what youve done to my world
(repeat)
GIVE ME THE SHOT
