The debut single from Simple Creatures is an upbeat pop-punk anthem about a sickening relationship. “Drugs” metaphorically compares someone else to a narcotic inherently describing their dependence on them but at the same time knowing they are harmful. This is the first song from the new project fro...
[Intro]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I got a feelin' that the weather's gonna change
So I'm turnin' off my brain for a minute
I had a premonition that tonight is gettin' strange
So I'm turnin' up the sound when you get in
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
'Cause I can't watch you dig your own grave
Dig your own grave today
And I can't hear a word that you say
A word that you say
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
You got me going 'round in circles in my head
The signals that we send, electric confidence
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Push me, pull me down (Hey)
Pick me up, drag me 'round
Parade me through the town
Fake jewelry, wear me out
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Can't get enough of your drug
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Can't get enough of your drug
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Can't get enough of your-
[Verse 2: Alex Gaskarth]
I ignored the warnings on a bottle full of pills
And I stumbled off the rails for a summer
I bought a filthy car with a thousand dollar bill
Just to watch it rust away in the gutter
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
'Cause I can't watch you dig your own grave
Dig your own grave today
So I'll just disappear with no trace from here
With no trace
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
You got me going 'round in circles in my head
The signals that we send, electric confidence
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Push me, pull me down (Hey)
Pick me up, drag me 'round
Parade me through the town
Fake jewelry, wear me out
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Can't get enough of your drug
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Can't get enough of your drug
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Can't get enough of your-
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
I can't tell what's real or what I'm dreamin' anymore
Don't know how to feel when I've felt this all before
I can't tell what's real or what I'm dreamin' anymore
Don't know how to feel (Don't know how to feel)
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
You got me going 'round in circles in my head
The signals that we send, electric confidence
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Push me, pull me down (Hey)
Pick me up, drag me 'round
Parade me through the town
Fake jewelry, wear me out
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Can't get enough of your drug
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Can't get enough of your drug
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Can't get enough of your-
[Outro: Alex Gaskarth]
I can't tell what's real or what I'm dreamin' anymore
Don't know how to feel when I've felt this all before

Mark Hoppus shared with Kerrang!:
“Drug” is always the first song we play people when introducing them to Simple Creatures, so it only makes sense that it’s the first single. I love the ratty guitar lead mixed with the thumping kick drum. Lyrically, the song is about being destroyed by the things y...
