Crystal found a prescription drug
And started taking it on a regular basis
She soon developed an addiction with the side effects
Taking her to all the wrong places
But she didn’t care because the drug made her feel good
They were given to her by her roommate
She was now starting to get the munchies
Then she remembered she hadn’t ate
So she ordered a large, pepperoni pizza
To satisfy her appetite
Grabbed a beer out of the fridge drank it so fast
Like it was the last day of her life
Sitting on the couch
All comfortable and cozy
Watching a chick flick
Starring Nick Nolte
Then she got bored
So she popped two more pills
Smoked an ounce of weed
Specifically for the thrill
About two hours later
She crashed on her roommate’s bed
And when he came in he picked her up
Careful not to injure her head
He then placed her back inside
The comfort of her own
Her reflexes reacted and she grabbed his hand tightly
‘Cause she didn’t wanna be alone
Her eyes were still shut but he didn’t care
He decided to stay anyway
So climbed into her bed to comfort her
Put one arm over her body and faded away
