LYRICS
Intro: 
And i will awake
Your highness 
I am so high I cannot walk
And I will awake
You cripple, you take away 
My time
My peace 
My empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love
And fetal dress
Hard bitten candy
Legless caress

Verse 1:
Go for credit in the straight world
Look a dealer in the eye
Go for credit in the real world
Wont you try

Verse 2:
I got some credit in the straight world
I lost a leg I lost an eye
Go for credit in the real world
You will die

Verse 3:
Instant credit in the straight world
Leave your money when you die
Lots of credit in the real world
Gets you high

Verse 4:
I got some credit in the straight world
I lost a leg I lost an eye
Go for credit in the real world
You will die
