The Pusher Lyrics
Snowflakes rolling over my ear
Goose bumping liver
If I'm hungry at 4:30 in the morning
Pink Dot will deliver
And I'm oh so tired

Down onto my head so hard
My knees are two inches in the ground, honey
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
You know I smoked a lot of grass
And I've popped a lot of pills
But I've never done nothing
That my spirit couldn't kill
And I walk around
With these tombstones in my eyes
But I know the pusher don't care
If you live or if you die-e
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn
