about
Inspired from an earlier tune called “Amazed” and from learning about how Addiction happens. Addiction used to be seen as criminal and described using a Medical Model, where an addict had made a bad life-choice and the drug itself was the addiction. Thankfully, contemporary thinking shows the important role played by ‘environment’ and austere political policies (such as those of Tory Britain.) My addictions? Sugar, Guilt, etc

lyrics
You amaze me
You’re living life at rocket-speed
And you drive me crazy
With worry watching as you bleed
But you say
Don’t be sad
It’s not so bad
I’m just killing time
Because I’m sad
How can you say
Life is fun in outer space
When darkness beckons
And your life fades
With every second
And you say
Don’t be sad
It’s not so bad
I’m just killing time
Because I’m sad
I’m just killing time etc.
You’re living life at rocket-speed
And you drive me crazy
With worry watching as you bleed
But you say
Don’t be sad
It’s not so bad
I’m just killing time
Because I’m sad
How can you say
Life is fun in outer space
When darkness beckons
And your life fades
With every second
And you say
Don’t be sad
It’s not so bad
I’m just killing time
Because I’m sad
I’m just killing time etc.
