This song was very hard to figure out.
It is hard to hear the bass, During
the song this is what i hear. I'm
pretty sure it is mostly right.
intro:
G|--------------|
D|--------------|
A|--------1-----| play this 3x then
E|-33-1-3---3-1-|
fill:
G|---------------------|
D|-5555-3333-----------|
A|-----------5555-3333-|
E|---------------------|
chorus:
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----0-1-2-3h5-1-0-1-0-------| 2x
E|-1<-------------------3<-3<-|
|play chorus again but don't
|play the 3< 3<, play this.
G|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|-------0-1-2-3---------| 2x
E|-3-R-1---------0-1-2-3-|
this part is wierd because there
is a part before playing the
chorus again, its this
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|----1-2-3-1-0-2-0----0-1-2-3-5-------|

| I think this song is about drug use, quite possibly cocaine. "a pulse like a hammer and a mind to match, no relief no food no sleep" sounds like he's getting high off uppers, no doubt. "when you're a king for a day you're a whore for a week" is the great high you have but the awful comedown afterwards. | |

| antispace, i completely disagree with you. operation ivy's lyrics are usually much deeper than drugs, and i'm pretty sure none of them were druggies. this song seems to be about carpe diem, not drugs. | |

| i think antispace is absolutely correct. skaboss, op ivy didn't write this song to condone or promote drug use-- if anything, it's a warning. it's about someone who wasn't cautious and started taking drugs, and then it got out of hand ("turned around, saw the dog walk me"). then he learns his lesson and offers some advice: "i didn't get it then/ i think i got it now... don't step in the water til you know you can swim". don't kid yourself; op ivy weren't as deep as you think. they simply wrote very smart, insightful lyrics, often about urban issues. drug abuse is as good a topic as any. can anybody guess as to what he means by "stainless steel and painted glass"? | |
