Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya know, I'm lost
My friend said I need to shake about my head
Who cares? I'm lost, uh
Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Aha
Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Aha
All is a model little mess
Doc gave me a dose, uh
Black coffee and a pack, good
Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Aha
The blow kicks in, still sick but warm
Boys shake your benzos, wave them up
We're here for free, we're here for fun
Forgot your lessons, never worked
Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Aha
Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Aha
