[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Stick that needle right through your arm
Do everything that does you harm
So you're lyin' there on the floor
See ya staggerin' out the door

[Chorus]
Try it and you like it and you know you can, take it on
Take your real life 'til you soon discovered
Where you are, you don't know
'Til you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
Don't know what you're doin' to me
See you lying there so hopelessly
Get yourself back up before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate

[Verse 2]
You don't care about anyone
Just as long as you have your fun
Or as long as you get your fix
Now you're taking a deep six

[Chorus]
Try it and you like it and you know you can, take it on
Take your real life 'til you soon discovered
Where you are, you don't know
'Til you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
Don't know what you're doin' to me
See you lying there so hopelessly
Get yourself back up before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate
[Bridge]
Higher, baby
Get higher, baby
Get higher, baby
Don't ever come down, don't do it!

[Chorus]
Now, you try it and you like it and you know you can, take it on
Take your real life 'til you soon discovered
Where you are, you don't know
'Til you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
Don't know what you're doin' to me
See you lying there so hopelessly
Get yourself back up before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate

[Outro]
What's at stake
What's at stake
What's at stake
What's at stake!
