PLACES YOU CAN'T GO
THEY SEEM SO INVITING
THEN YOU ROT THERE SLOW
SOME FIND DISAPPOINTMENT SO EXCITING

BECAUSE I SAW ONE ON MY TV
AND I SAW ONE ON MY FAVORITE RECORD SLEEVE

LIKE ALL MY DEAD HEROES
WITH MONUMENTS THIS TALL
LIKE ALL THE CLICHE' ZEROES
DOUBLED OVER IN THE STALL

I WANNA BE A JUNKIE
BECAUSE I'M STUPID AND I FALL FOR SUCH FACADES
I WANNA BE A JUNKIE
BECAUSE THE NAÏVE ARE EASILY AWED

VOIDS UNBURDEN SLOW
SO YOU KEEP YOUR GRIP ON TIGHT
SO OBVIOUS TO KNOW
CORK THE ANGER IN A LIGHTNING

BECAUSE I SAW ONE ON MY TV
AND I SAW ONE ON MY FAVORITE RECORD SLEEVE

IF YOU'VE GOT NO TALENT, BABY
IT CAN'T BRING IT
AND IF YOU DO HAVE SOME
THEN IT CAN SUCK YOU DRY

HOW MAY FAILURES DOES IT TAKE
TO MAKE SOMEONE CHOOSE THE RIGHT WAY OUT

I WANNA BE A JUNKIE
BECAUSE I'M STUPID AND I FALL FOR SUCH FACADES
I WANNA BE A JUNKIE
BECAUSE THE NAÏVE ARE EASILY AWED
