"She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but she can't hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it"
This part of the song just floors me every time. As a former addict, I know how it is to feel that hopeless. Of the millions of songs about addiction, I don't know of another one that more accurately describes a junkie in between fixes. Incredible songwriting.
