Overkill – Bitter Pill lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

I'm a cold, dark night on a summer's day
I'm a black disease, I won't go away
Low baby, low baby, lower you'll be takin' me
And for all it's worth, my pain will eat your misery
Oh, yeah

Swallow me like poison
Back down, turn around, double down, breakin' me
Run down ghost town, pain will eat your misery
Doctor's orders
Fist, ball, and chain

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill
(Bitter pill)
High wire, hot fire, get some thrills
(Bitter pill)
Open up wide, take the bitter pill
(Bitter pill)
Open up wide and swallow

Let the pieces fall where the bodies lay
Where the dreams will break, come what may
How it goes, how it goes, did everybody get a taste?
And for all it's worth, the ending is an awful waste
Yeah, yeah

Swallow me like poison
Back down, turn around, double down, breakin' me
Run down ghost town, pain will eat your misery
Doctor's orders
Fist, ball, and chain
Doctor's orders
Feel the pain
Hey

[Short Instrumental Break]

I know where the cold wind blows
Fan the heart, set it afire
To die in the coldest snow
With the chill that just won't go away
Roarin' like a lion, dyin' like a lamb
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Won't go away
Roarin' like a lion, can't get out of the goddamn way
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Instrumental Break]

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill
(Bitter pill)
High wire, hot fire, get some thrills
(Bitter pill)
Open up wide, take the bitter pill
(Bitter pill)
Open up wide and swallow

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill
(Bitter pill)
High wire, hot fire, get some thrills
(Bitter pill)
Open up wide, take the bitter pill
(Bitter pill)
Open and swallow the cold, bitter pill
