lots of cotton, not much of this.

one of my favorites off We Shall All Be Healed.

(buy this album! it's on itunes! do it!)

I eat a couple Milky Ways for breakfast

I take my coffee light and sweet

Show up for dinner when you tell me to

I heap the sugar high and white on everything I eat

Carry an apple in my pocket

I write reminders on my skin

Clip meaningless pictures from old magazines

I tape them to the walls

It's a bad place I'm in

And nothing you can say or do will stop me

And a thousand dead friends can't stop me

I go back to places I remember

See what's been going on without me

Stare down the strangers at the bus stop

Pretend they've been gossiping about me

White sugar by the spoonful

Canteloupes and grapes and watermelons

I force it down like it was medicine

Anybody asks you tell 'em what you want to tell 'em

But the best you've got is powerless against me

All your little schemes break when they come crashing up against me

Ahh

Its quite obviously about meth addiction not heroin. Although john abused opiates earlier in life before meth which he accounts in his album the Sunset Tree along with the domestic abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepfather.Come on people there dead giveaways like "stare down the strangers at the bus stop, pretend they have been gossiping about me" I don't know any other drug that induces paranoia and distrust of everyone that can be expressed like that. Also listening to the rest of the album its no question he is accounting his time spent with a severe meth addiction, nevermind i have seen interviews where he discusses it. Remarkable man and songwriter

To me this song is a great prequel to Insurance Fraud. It seems like the music and story could flow seamlessly from one to the other. Not to mention Insurance Fraud may seem like a great way to get money to score more meth. Just an idea that occurred to me this listen to. That's Insurance Fraud #2.

it's not about a heroine addiction, it's about meth. when you're on meth and you've been on it a while you start craving sugar.

the deep meaning of this piece is lost on many people. I am one of those people.
