“Slow Drugs” by Sam Himself
I’m coming down with something
Something rotten, something raw
I’ve been staring at the ceiling
From my dirty bedroom floor
Bring me slow drugs
To stop my clocks
And kill my lights
Slow drugs for low love
To grow on high
Bring your blue lips and your airplane eyes
I’m coming down with something
New so I need something strong
I’ve been staring at the pavement
From the sill of my window
Bring me slow drugs
To close my locks
And shut my blinds
Slow drugs for bad love
To hide behind
Bring your blue lips and let slip a careless sigh
When your lead lids seal your airplane eyes
Bring your slow drugs
Your cold blood
Your blackout smile
Give me slow drugs
My ghost love
Let’s skip the world tonight
Bring your blue lips and your airplane eyes

Like a Friend

Sam Himself - Like a Friend
Once my love added up like a sum
My world was wide, no night too long
The moon was full, the band played on
I guess I had my numbers wrong
When the wheel comes down I need you to tell me
When the light goes out
Look at me and tell me
Like a friend
I’ll take it like I’ve got nothing left to give
On the chin like the man you always wanted me to be
And pillars of salt will line my way
Back inside the whale again
When the wheel comes down I need you to tell me
When the light goes out
Look at me and tell me
Like a friend

Take Me Bad

Sam Himself - Take Me Bad
Don’t ask me why I find myself wanting
Your hard eyes on my paper skin
Take these dull bones to sharpen your bite on
I need your damp hands on my fever again
Cry a tear between your legs
For the thirst between my lips
Take me bad
Don’t ask me what my blood does with you in it
But nothing moves without your liquid pulse
Come fill my sick mouth with your medicine breath
I need my strings round your fingers again
Say a prayer for every stain
Of my body’s festering sins
Take me bad
Take me bad
Take me way out of my mind
Take me like it’s the last time
Take me bad
Until your piercing creature screak
Scares the dead night out of me
Take me bad
Take me bad
Take me way out of my mind
Take me like it’s the last time
Take me bad

Sam Himself - Maybe Allison
Maybe Allison was right
Selfish lovers don’t think twice
And we’re too old to waste our time
Looking for something we’re too young to find
She said
I’ll take you anywhere
I don’t really care where we go
I’ll take you anywhere
Higher than you ever been before
Maybe Allison tonight
Red wine and white lines and some real life advice
Allison California smiles
And lipstick teeth and maybe mine
Allison cool goodbye
She said
I’ll take you anywhere
Anywhere you ever wanna go
I’ll take you all the way
Never come down anymore
She said
I’ll take you anywhere
I don’t really care where we go
I’ll take you anywhere
Never said I’m taking you home

Sam Himself - Someday You'll Be the Fool and You'll Know What It's Like
Remember when the last great drug comic
Keeled over and died
That night I watched the news with you
Your dad came home and turned off the TV but you put up a fight
Remember when the bruise turned blue
You said
You will get yours too
You will get yours too
Remember when
They found that boy we knew from school and you ran
All the way to my house just to tell me
Remember bus stop 5AM, icy hands and eyes like pins
We said we would quit, remember really meaning it
You will get yours too
You will wake up to the sound of your song ending soon
You will get yours too
You will get yours too
I don’t remember where I went
When they told me I just ran
Ended up at your place
I thought I still heard you say it
You will get yours too
You will get yours too
You will get yours too
You will wake up to the sound of your song ending soon
