Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
'Til you think I'm listening
Take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
Peripheral on the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for
And I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine
Eye on what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile to get what's mine
Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I crave
Lie to smile and get what's mine
Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Give this to me
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
Mine
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
This is mine
Mine
All mine

I think this whole album works as a concept album about the stages of addiction (i.e. Twelve-Step Program). This song sounds like he's pretty desperate for something like smack or coke. Something that isn't very good for him, at least.
Your all wrong. Its obviously about White Castle.
I absolutely agree. There's 12 songs on it, its called "13th step". It's like I've got this done, now what? Although not all of the songs talk about one single step (The Noose might), I think that the entire album follows the concept of "what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now", as is said in the AA preamble. The album may be arranged in order according to this rather than steps 1-12, but I believe the album is definitely themed around a 12-step program.
