I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I saw his body thrashing 'round
I saw his pulse rate going down
I saw him in convulsive throes
I said "I'll have one of those"
Hilary had
Hilary had
Hilary had it in his veins
Hilary had
Hilary had
Hilary had it in his veins
Hilary had Everest in his veins
Armstrong did moon was not the same
Heroes explore to give us hope
River pushed back the envelope
Drank the slab
Drank the slab
Drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
Drank the slab
Drank the slab
Drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
I drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
I injected some of Hendrix's junk
I booked a seat on Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane
Mama Cass's sandwich I ate the same
Now I'm bored
Now I'm bored
Now I'm bored and there's no stopping
Now I'm bored
Now I'm bored
Now I'm bored and there's no stopping
Now I'm bored and there's no stopping
I need another celeb to fill my coffin
Where will I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I saw his body thrashing 'round
I saw his pulse rate going down
I saw him in convulsive throes
I said "I'll have one of those"

No one's had a stab at explaining the meaning? OK, I'll give it a go...
Rather than being about River Phoenix & drug overdoses as a superficial read might reveal, I think TISM are going a layer deeper here. I think they are poking fun at celebrity culture & the way people obsessively follow celebrity antics, exactly like it itself is a drug.
I think the following lines illustrate this best..
Now I'm bored and there's no stopping I need another celeb to fill my coffin Where will I get my next drug action? Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson
The lines...
I need another celeb to fill my coffin Where will I get my next drug action?
...are particularly telling.
That's my take anyway. YMMV.
Cheers, TV
@tvsinesperanto Ironically MJ later died from a drug overdose
