The Pill

She called herself Betty, She were black jeans and a feather in her hair like an Indian

I took the pill and slipped it underneath my tounge

You took yours and passed me the bottle

The hotel bedspread was a mess of colours, Looked like somebody had thrown-up

Outside, day was coming in

Betty had long hair on her forearms

and a tattoo of the Norbal logo on the back of her right shoulder

My jaw ached from grinding my teeth

You and betty just laughed and laughed

I looked at you and you looked at her

I felt sick to my stomach

You nudged me in the ribs, caught me eye and gave me a wink

The colours on the bed spread began to move

Together we begin to swim inside out

How I wish that I could feel that sound always

You know, around all time baby, so lonely, ah

That we'd get so far out, far away, always, always

There was a knock at the door

I was so messed up

It was so late

I was convinced that we shouldn't move

But the music was so loud

How I wish that I could feel that sound always

You know, around all time baby, so lonely, yeah

oh my, got to get so far out, far away, always, always, always

It was then I realised that I couldn't go back

The telephone rang, it was the front desk

You've just got to tap your heels together and say that

"There's no place like home, There's no place like home"

I don't have that kind of power

Never did see Betty again

There's no place like home

And the years went by
