lyrics

This dark harsh world will leave deep scars girl
That’s why when I go, I’m gonna take you with me
Leave it all behind like fuck the city
There are places we can go that are twice as pretty
Past the city limits, close your eyes for a minute
Anything you want girl, to your heart's content
If you can dream it, you can will it, that’s what I’m saying
To hell with it all unless it's heaven sent
A penny for your thoughts, a nickel for some brain
Your body and your soul for a dollar and change
Let me take you away, far from this place
Nothing like the touch of my warm embrace
You can feel it like a train coursing through your veins
Take this little pill, it takes away the pain
These are harsh times girl, stay open-minded
There's needles in the haystack, I know you can find them

(Chorus)
You and me, I can see (Wonders that will lead me on)
Illusions that will come to be
(One pill makes you larger)
We believe fantasy
Never mind reality
(One pill makes you smaller)
You and me, I can see (In the mind of other ones)
Illusions that will come to be
(One pill makes you stronger)
We believe fantasy
Never mind reality
(One pill makes you stranger)

Come a little closer girl, let's begin
A little mescaline, go on, digest it in
Feel the way your body copes with the mess it's in
As the chemicals seep into your estrogen
These hallucinogens, get used to them
I'm your pusher man girl, I'm useful when
You're feeling used and abused and useless and
Your neck’s bruised black and blue from the noose it's in
When push comes to shove, tell me who do you love?
When the pusher man comes with a truck full of drugs
And the lord up above ain't answering prayers
And the stairway to heaven’s got too many stairs
Take the escalator up, it’s a quick easy fix
You got wizard sleeves girl, now turn some tricks
Let me turn you on to this
Take the tourniquet and twist
It around your bicep, if you ain't high yet

(Chorus)

(Outro)
Tonight we will see
Worlds appear in poppy dreams
You and I have made a pact
Now there is no turning back
