[Verse 1] 
He was my best friend 
Well, I tried to help him 
But he traded everything for suffering 
And found himself alone 
I watched the lying turn into hiding 
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips were melted to the bone 
 
[Chorus] 
But I can still remember what his face looked like 
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night 
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now 
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now 
A gun would do the trick, get it over with 
You're better off 
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot 
To get high-igh-igh-igh (high-igh-igh-igh) 
 
[Verse 2] 
Three days no sleeping 
Well, he gave up eating 
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing 
And pretended not to know 
He started stealing to supply the feeling 
Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife 
And held it to her throat 
 
[Chorus] 
But I can still remember what his face looked like 
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night 
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now 
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now 
A gun would do the trick, get it over with 
You're better off 
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot 
To get high-igh-igh-igh (high-igh-igh-igh) 
Tell me what you did, where you gone and hid? 
Show me is what you really want, watching what you've got 
Slowly 
Circling the drain, throw it all away 
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh (high-igh-igh-igh) 
High-igh, ohhh! 
 
[Bridge] 
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh) 
High 
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh) 
High 
 
[Chorus] 
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now 
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now 
A gun would do the trick, get it over with 
You're better off 
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot 
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh (high-igh-igh-igh) 
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid? 
Show me is what you really want, watching what you've got 
Slowly 
Circling the drain, throw it all away 
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh 
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh 
Circling the drain, throw it all away 
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh

[Verse 1]

Well, I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips were melted to the bone

[Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
To get high-igh-igh-igh (high-igh-igh-igh)

[Verse 2]
Three days no sleeping
Well, he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife
And held it to her throat

[Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now

[Bridge]
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High

[Chorus]
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know, tell me what you gone and done now
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh (high-igh-igh-igh)
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?
Show me is what you really want, watching what you've got

Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh-igh-igh
