Lyrics for Side Effects

My mood is down and my tongue's gettin' rough It must be side effects I'm taking pills, and I drink like a lush It must be side effects Yeah, I'm afraid of my shadow, what's going on? Can't get nothing done, who knew? Side effects My hands are shaking, I'm a nervous wreck Too many side effects Help me, baby There's a price to pay for everything Everything you put in your veins I can't stop, I can't get enough Is it real or is it chemical? I can't stop, I can't get enough Got a feeling that it's chemical Too many side effects My moods are swinging, I got late-night sweats I got side effects, yeah Didn't read the label, don't know what to expect, yeah Side effects Too many side effects This is worse than stopping cigarettes I got a heart to protect, too many flashbacks You know my, my blood is toxic, I'm losing my wits Too many side effects Help me, baby There's a price to pay for everything Everything you put in your veins I paid I can't stop, I can't get enough Is it real or is it chemical? I can't stop, I can't get enough Got a feeling I'm obsessional Ain't no bad, ain't no good I hate to be hooked I guess you were the perfect drug, yeah I can't stop, I can't get enough Got a feeling that it's chemical What do we have in common? You don't even laugh at my jokes, well I can't stop, I can't get enough Is it real or is it chemical? I can't stop, I can't get enough I'm feeling that it's chemical Ain't no bad, ain't no good I hate to be hooked I guess you were the perfect drug, yeah I can't stop, I can't get enough I'm feeling that it's chemical Side effects Too many side effects, yeah Too many side effects Too many side effects, yeah Side effects Side effects Side effects Side effects Too many side effects
