I was taking all the pills to stop me feeling I'll again 
Supermarket shelves collapsing at the till again 
Doctor couldn't help patients running out again 
Where's the next step up? 
All went blank for a couple of pages 
Hazy recollection of staring for ages, and ages 
So I didn't know how, I didn't know when 
An easy choice became the trend 
Weakening the thrills, less money to spend 
Someone had a car borrowed from a friend 
Memory distortion ten years on and back again 
Thrills a generation crash into the window pane 
Another empty parking space 
A friend of ours was here 
We drank a lot of beer 
Next day his Vauxhall Cavalier 
Had gone and disappeared 
Taking all the pills only went so far 
Did you get the thrills when you took the car? 
Driving up the price of running out of anything 
Caught in the distortion, distortion of escapism brutality 
He's wasted - escapist - in his overdrawn reality 
He's wasted - He's wasted - He's wasted - He's wasted
