Too Late For The Rickshaws
Late Night Revelations: Journey from Addiction to Liberation
Lyrics
So come here I'll tell you how it started
Reflecting on the origins of the situation
For the sake of our dear departed
Mentioning someone dear who has passed away
I was bored of doing whippets in Walkinstown
Expressing boredom with a specific recreational activity
I thought the high was worth the comedown
Weighing the pleasure of the high against the inevitable low
I met Ringo down by the Grand Canal
Meeting a person named Ringo by the Grand Canal
He told me how he'd been clean now
Ringo sharing his journey of staying clean
He'd seen the lights, he'd reached new heights
Describing Ringo's positive transformation
I knew right then we'd be up all night
Anticipating a prolonged period of wakefulness
But at least I kicked the smack
Proudly stating the cessation of heroin use
You've got to me give that
Acknowledging the recognition for overcoming addiction
We stayed up smoking rocks til after seven
Staying awake, engaging in drug use until the morning
You reminded me there's no tweaker heaven
Realizing the absence of a perfect drug-induced state
Let's get another ounce down by the quays right now
Suggesting acquiring more drugs by the quays
Cos it's too late to flag a rickshaw down
Expressing the impossibility of getting a rickshaw at this point
That'll set you back sixteen hundred
Quoting the cost of a rickshaw without concern
Who cares, you know it's public funded
Indifferent to the source of funding for the drug use
We'll smoke that in two hours just you and me
Consuming a significant amount of drugs quickly
An ounce might just as well be free
Considering the drugs as good as free due to excessive use
I got sent down when I punched a guard then
Recounting a past incident involving assaulting a guard
He broke my jaw I reckon just for fun
Speculating on the guard's motivation for violence
I've got just seventeen teeth left to spare
Describing the dental damage and the fear of losing more teeth
I can't afford to lose a single one
Emphasizing the value of each remaining tooth
I've been in Cloverhill
Having spent a significant time in Cloverhill prison
Four years more than I haven't
Highlighting the duration of imprisonment
We stayed up smoking rocks til after seven
Continuing drug use into the early morning
You reminded me there's no tweaker heaven
Reiterating the absence of an ideal drug-induced state
Let's get another ounce down by the quays right now
Proposing obtaining more drugs by the quays once again
Cos it's too late to flag a rickshaw down
Reiterating the impossibility of flagging down a rickshaw
We stayed up smoking rocks til after seven
Continuing drug use into the early morning
You reminded me there's no tweaker heaven
Reiterating the absence of an ideal drug-induced state
Let's get another ounce down by the quays right now
Proposing obtaining more drugs by the quays once again
Cos it's too late to flag a rickshaw down
Reiterating the impossibility of flagging down a rickshaw
We stayed up smoking rocks til after seven
Continuing drug use into the early morning
You reminded me there's no tweaker heaven
Reiterating the absence of an ideal drug-induced state
Let's get another ounce down by the quays right now
Proposing obtaining more drugs by the quays once again
Cos it's too late to flag a rickshaw down
Reiterating the impossibility of flagging down a rickshaw
We stayed up smoking rocks til after seven
Continuing drug use into the early morning
You reminded me there's no tweaker heaven
Reiterating the absence of an ideal drug-induced state
Let's get another ounce down by the quays right now
Proposing obtaining more drugs by the quays once again
Cos it's too late to flag a rickshaw down
Reiterating the impossibility of flagging down a rickshaw
