Video and Lyric - Video y Letra ::: Placebo - Special K

coming up beyond belief
on this coronary thief
more than just a leitmotif
more chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
weeping wounds that never heal
can the saviour be for real
or are you just my seventh seal?

no hesitation, no delay
you come on just like special k
just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash

no hesitation, no delay
you come on just like special k
now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
gravity
no escaping gravity
gravity
no escaping... no for free
I fall down... hit the ground
make a heavy sound
every time
you seem to come around

I'll describe the way I feel
you're my new Achilles heel
can this savior be for real
or are you just my seventh seal?
no hesitation, no delay
you come on just like special k
now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand

gravity
no escaping gravity
gravity
no escaping... no for free
I fall down... hit the ground
make a heavy sound
every time
you seem to come around

"It's a simple song that compares the rush of falling in love at first sight with the feeling of coming up on drugs, basically. So it uses the metaphor of drugs to describe the falling head-over-heels in love with somebody. But like with drugs, what goes up always has to come down and that's the the moral of the story."
