When the dealer hits my back   I turn around to see his face   his pounded jaw his bleeding nose   and I ask for an overdose of love      I want it now I need it all   right before my head comes falling down   see my friend he's born in a wishing well   now you find him lying at the gates of hell      there's too much violence in my dreams   there's too much hate running in my veins   see I got a pirate soul to lend   I got my head right in my hand      it's for you as a gift you can take   'cause I know how it feels to be down on my knees   you've been up, now you're down   with no guidance from above   while the cold wind blows in this town full of dogs      gimme hope gimme fear   gimme love and despair   gimme loads of your drug   and a reasonable fuck   your burdon and your weight   gimme all that I can take   'cause you know I'd love to carry it all for you
