Drugs (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared and some are spots
Feel like a murder but that's alright
Somebody said there's too much light
Pull down the shade and it's alright
It'll be over in a minute or two

[Chorus]
I'm charged up, don't put me down
Don't feel like talking, don't mess around
I feel mean, I feel okay
I'm charged up, electricity
That's what I call it

[Verse 2]
The boys are making a big mess
This makes the girls start to laugh
Nobody knows what they're talking about
The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
They pick the sound and let it drop
Nobody knows what they're talking about

[Chorus]
I'm charged up, I'm kinda wooden
I'm barely moving, I study motion
I steady myself, I fooled myself
I'm charged up, it's pretty intense
I'm charged up, so don't put me down
Don't feel like talking, don't mess around
I feel mean, I feel okay
I'm charged up, electricity

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
