Triangles on the Wall - Rheostatics

He used to take a lot of drugs

But now he’s okay.

He’s doing fine

He doesn’t need to take the drugs anymore

He used to drink a lot of alcohol

He used to smoke a lot of cigarettes

He used to hang around in bars sorta like this one

With stupid florescent, government issue triangles on the wall

And you know?

He had a girlfriend, her name was Satan

… But I guess it was for her protection

Because she was perfectly nice

She was about the only thing

That made him seem smart

He had a girlfriend, they called her Satan

And you know?

The city is a place

Where I can sit and they write funky songs

And I know, my brain it is a place

And I don’t want to write the funking songs anymore

He used to smoke a lot of drugs

He used to snort it in the stalls

But now he’s into fitness

He used to smoke a lot of cigarettes

He used to drink a lot of alcohol

He used to hang around in bars

With triangles on the wall
