LYRICS

Girl On LSD (Alternate Version)

I was in love with a girl on marijuana
She said "If I'm not stoned, I don't wanna"
But she got so paranoid
Her place I would avoid
I was in love with a girl on marijuana

I was in love with a girl on cocaine
She had everything going but a brain
We'd talk endlessly for hours
But by morning it'd go sour
I was in love with a girl on cocaine

Through ecstasy, crystal meth and glue I found no drug that compares to you
All these pills, all this weed
I don't know just what I need

I was in love with a girl on LSD
She'd see things I'd never see
She broadened her perspective
Then I got more selective
I was in love with a girl on LSD

Through ecstasy, crystal meth and glue
I found no drug that compares to you
All these pills, all this weed
I don't know just what I need

[VS 7: DEALER]
I's in love with a girl who was a dealer
I's afraid somebody'd come and steal her
we never used to fight
but the phone rang day and night
I's in love with a girl who was a dealer
sure as hell
she got popped by the big guy
