That hospital gown really brings out your hazel eyes, baby Your crippling self-loathing Affinity for Alcohol abuse And drug dependency Make you so magnetic Girls do love a troubled twenty-something Those dilated pupils  must really  pull them into your merry go round of calamitous habit   Leading to nowhere at three hundred kilometres per hour. The only grip you have is on that bottle of two dollar brandy Desperately scratching away at your epidermis Puffing cigarettes as though your sanity and  life depend on it Voluntary admission at the place of rehabilitation The third attempt to mend your broken self And purify your soul Knocking at death's door This time it will be different, you say No one is holding their breath.
