The Pill Lyrics

Well, it was a half past ten

Or awful damn near

And I'd toked my last Camel

And swigged my last beer

My whiskey bottle's empty

And laying on the couch

So I just grabbed my jacket

And headed out of the house

I jumped into my Duster

She's a seventy-four

With the top cut off

And graffiti on the doors

And the radiator's busted

From a shotgun shell

When she'd kick the bucket

I really couldn't tell, come on

Well, I was thinking fast women

And Camels and booze

As I pulled up to a bar

In my alligator boots

And I wasn't disappointed

At this watering hole

For there were short-skirted ladies

That would steal a man's soul

So I planted on a stool

As I threw down my bills

And I winked at a blonde

In some red high heels

And I called out, Jack

And she said, I'll have the same

She put her arm around me

As she started to say

Come on, laid back

Buy me a thrill

I need you honey

Like I need the pill

Come on, laid back

Buy me a thrill

I need you sugar

Like I need the pill

Well, I work hard for my money

So I spend it how I please

So I told the bartender

To pour one for her and me

Then she took me by the hand

And headed for the back

I was looking at her

Not where I was at

Then she stepped into a phone booth

And she pulled me on inside

Those panties hit the floor

So I reached and grabbed a thigh

Well, that phone booth started rocking

And the glass filled with steam

That phone began a ringing

And I could hear her start to scream

Come on, laid back

Buy me a thrill

I need you honey

Like I need the pill

Come on, laid back

Buy me a thrill

I need you sugar

Like I need the pill

Well, just as she was leaving

I goosed her once more

But my chest hairs got lodged

In that damn booth door

I could hear Ma Bell screaming

As that dime went in the phone

She just called the paramedics

And left me all alone

Well, there were hoots and hollers

And giggles and scowls

And the paramedics laughed

As I made my way out

As I passed that bartender

Well, he just handed me a note

And as long as I live

Well, I'll remember what she wrote

Come on, laid back

Buy me a thrill

I need you honey

Like I need the pill

Come on, laid back

Buy me a thrill

I need you sugar

Like I need the pill
