Just a little rush, babe
 
 To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me
 
 Just a little hush, babe
 
 Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy
 
 Anyway to distract and sedate
 
 Adding shadows to the walls of the cave
 
  
  You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
 
 Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
 
 Somewhere for this death and guns
 
 We are deaf, we are numb
 
 Free and young and we can feel none of it
  
 
 Something isn't right, babe
 
 I keep catching little words but the meaning's thin
 
 I'm somewhere outside my life, babe
 
 I keep scratching but somehow I can't get in
 
 So we're slaves to any semblance of touch
 
 Lord we should quit but we love it too much
  
 
 Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung
 
 Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
 
 Somewhere for this death and guns
 
 We are deaf, we are numb
 
 Free and young and we can feel none of it
  
 
 Darlin', don't you stand there watching
 
 Won't you come and save me from it?
 
 Darlin', don't you join in
 
 You're supposed to drag me away from it
  
 
 Anyway to distract and sedate
 
 Adding shadows to the walls of the cave
  
 
 You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
 
 Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
 
 Somewhere for this death and guns
 
 We are deaf, we are numb
 
 Free and young and we can feel none of it
  
 
 Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung
 
 Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
 
 Somewhere for this death and guns
 
 We are deaf, we are numb
 
 Free and young and we can feel none of it
