Hello, Hello

Hello
[Verse 1]
Swig from the bottle, now who's sucking who
You'd prefer the nipple, but your teeth have cut through
Defects we're born with, but poisons we choose
He' s not there, just a gap in the air
He's not there, just the smell of despair
He's not there
[Refrain]
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a knife-pulling
(Pill-popping and a pint-pulling)
People come knocking, but there's no one at home
(And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending)
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
(Pill-popping and a pint-pulling)
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
(And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending)
Don't look in your eyes, you are miles away
(Pill-popping and a pint-pulling)
He's not there, he's really not there
(And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending)
Oh, people come knocking but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
He's not there, he's really not there
