the IV therapy is for your health
don't pay no mind to the dirty needles
it's for the best
they need to get under your skin
we need to get under your skin (under your skin)

filthy drips for this cause
medicated trips for your loss
the doctors wonder how you're still alive
and why you keep that broken cross
oh, oh, boy
oh, oh, boy, oh

check the monitor
keep track of your pace
you never know when it'll race
or when the green spike will cease
you know your life is on the line
just wait and see

filthy drips for this cause
medicated trips for your loss
the doctors wonder how you're still alive
and why you keep that broken cross
oh, oh, boy
oh, oh, boy, oh

static from the tv reflected in your eyes
you're oh so dead already
and it's only half past midnight
where is your higher power? (it was never there)
that cross can't help you now (it never did care)

filthy drips for this cause
medicated trips for your loss
the doctors wonder how you're still alive
and why you keep that broken cross
oh, why do you keep that broken cross?
oh, oh, boy
oh, oh, boy, oh
oh, oh, boy
