(Verse 1)
He was my best friend, I tried to help him,
But he traded everything, for suffering,
And found himself alone.
I watched the lying, turn into hiding,
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips...
Were melted to the bone.

(Chorus)
But I can still remember what his face looked like,
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night.
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got and burn it on the spot,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).

(Verse 2)
Three days no sleeping, he gave up eating,
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing,
And pretended not to know...
He started stealing, to supply the feeling,
Found out he pulled a knife, on someone's wife...
And held it to her throat.

(Extended Chorus)
But I can still remember what his face looked like,
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got and burn it on the spot,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).

Tell me what you did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you've got?
Slowly
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).
High-igh, igh...oooooh!

Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot,
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh (high-igh, igh, igh).

Tell me what did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you've got?
Slowly
Circling drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh

Just to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, igh, igh, igh.
