Drugs in My Body
Thieves Like Us Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The days they go slow.
The nights they go fast.
It's only some time,
Til we get together.
I'm out on the street.
I'm waiting for you.
Do you hear me looking?
The method is clear
In waiting for you.
I think I need a distraction.
I'm not staying in.
I'm searching for you.
I can never find you.

Go downtown put the drugs in my body.
Step back up I'm the life of the party.
Come back home and we'll get something started.
Stay up late put some heat in my heartache.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Thieves Like Us's song "Drugs in My Body" describe a person who is waiting for someone they care about. The days seem to drag on and the nights fly by, and the only thing that will make them feel better is being with that special someone. They are out on the street, searching for their loved one, but they can't seem to find them. They need a distraction from the pain of being alone, so they go out looking for a good time.


The chorus of the song is where the title comes in. The person decides to go downtown and put some drugs in their body, hoping that it will make them feel better. They then return home and hope to start something new and exciting with their loved one. They stay up late, putting some heat into their heartache, and try to forget about the pain they are feeling.


Overall, the song is about the ups and downs of love and the lengths we go to in order to feel better when we are alone. The lyrics are up for interpretation, and the meaning will vary from person to person. However, the catchy beat and repetitive chorus make it a song that is easy to sing along to and relate to.
