What's At Stake

(album: More Noise And Other Disturbances - 1992)

Stick that needle into your arm
Do anything that does you harm
See you lying there on the floor
See you staggering out at the door

[Refrain:]
You try it and you like it
And you know you can't take it
Until you realize that you couldn't escape it
Where you are, you don't know,
Till you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
Don't know what you're doing to me,
See you lying there so helplessly (hopelessly)
Get yourself back up, before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate

You don't care about anyone,
Just as long as you have your fun
Or as long as you get your fix,
Now you're thinking of deep six
[Refrain]
Higher, baby, Get higher, baby, Get higher, baby
Don't, no! don't go, don't do it!!!
[Refrain]
What's at Stake, What's at Stake, What's at Stake
WHAT'S AT STAKE!!!!!!
