My friend and I performed this song as a lipsinc at a school drama event. I played the subject, who was ODing on heroin, while my friend played the narrator, who was trying to live his life and was sick of my irresponsible and self-destructive ways.
My favourite part was right after the "is our coffin" part, where I finished with the monologue and then fell to the ground, going down on my knees, my seat, and then my shoulders in quick succession, to the beat of the song. I then writhed around on the stage for the last part of the song while my friend stomped off in a trenchcoat.
Every other performance was comedic, so the audience didn't react well to seeing a drug tragedy. Ours was the only performance that didn't get an applause, but rather, a stunned silence lasting several seconds until the next performance started.

This is beautiful. You deserve a standing ovation.
