Slow Drugs 03:38
“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

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 03:27
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
