Steven Wilson
Pure Narcotic
[Verse 1]
You keep me waiting
You keep me alone in a room full of friends
You keep me hating
You keep me listening to The Bends
[Refrain]
No amount of pointless days can make this go away
[Verse 2]
You have me on my knees
You have me listless and deranged
You have me in your pocket
You have me distant and estranged
[Refrain]
No narcotics in my brain can make this go away
[Chorus]
I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
I worry that I don't act the way you'd want me to
I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
You find me wanting
You find me bloodless but inspired
You find me out
You find me hallucinating fire
[Refrain]
No narcotics in my brain can make this go away
[Chorus]
I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to
I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Bridge]
(Have we ever been here before?)
(Running headlong at the floor)
(Leave me dreaming on a railway track)
(Wrap me up and send me back)
[Chorus]
(Have we ever been here before?) I'm sorry that
(Running headlong at the floor) I'm sorry that I'm not like you
(Leave me dreaming on a railway track) I worry that
(Wrap me up and send me back) I don't act the way you'd like me to
Ah-ah-ah-ah
