Ask Her for Adderall Songtext
von The Hold Steady

If she asks, don′t tell her that I'm sleeping on the couch
Don′t tell her that I'm living hand-to-mouth
If she asks, just tell her that we opened for the Stones
It's her favorite band except for The Ramones

And if she happens to suggest a love based on trust and respect
Tell her I′ve been wasted since last week
If she wants to stop on by, tell her that I almost died
Tell her I ain′t seeing people yet
Yeah, but ask her to send cigarettes

If she asks, don't tell her about the bloodshed in the streets
The less she knows, the less she can repeat
And if she happens to bring up the pinpricks and the throwing up
Tell her it′s just part of growing up


And if she wants to get involved
Tell her to stay in St. Paul
Tell her I'm not up to taking calls
But ask her for some Adderall
Yeah, let′s see if she can bring them all

And if she asks, just tell her that we're too far gone to deal
She should know exactly how that feels
If she′s asking for a scene report, don't tell her about the kitchen doors
Tell her that we ain't even keeping score no more

If she wants to help the cause
Tell her we need sterile gauze
Tell her Anny took all her medicine
See if she′s got Klonopin

Yeah, ′cause I got so much anxiety
'Cause I think she won′t get high with me
I'm asking when you′re losing me
