Wellington

After three month's on the road I flew to Wellington, New-Zealand Strung out and stuck in, a hole I've been digging Down on Cuba street, no worries on my mind Tryin' to get a hold of the strongest thing I could find Wellington (oh yeah) You've got the best of me And if I don't wake up tomorrow Won't you bury me, in Wellington The sun was slowly fading like a fire in the rain I couldn't stop the burning I had in my veins The flower of the poppy I follow with my nose I search the whole town over, sweatin' through my clothes Wellington (oh yeah) You've got the best of me And if I don't wake up tomorrow Won't you bury me, in Wellington When I met a stranger, bought what he had for sale He put my hands in cuffs said son, you're going to jail We walking towards the squad car as he read my rights to me Looks like I better call up the US embassy In Wellington (oh yeah) You've got the best of me And if I don't wake up tomorrow Won't you bury me, in Wellington Oh, judge is there nothing I can say To save my skin and set me free today Please just let me go back home But if I must stay Will you make sure sweet opium takes me far away I miss my friends and family, But I'm nowhere near them now but I'm nowhere near them now Locked up in the South Pacific in a jail somewhere downtown You've been a friendly island to me since I stepped upon your shore And if I ever leave a free man, won't be coming back for more Wellington (oh yeah) You've got the best of me And if I don't wake up tomorrow Won't you bury me, in Wellington Wellington (oh yeah) You've got the best of me And if I don't wake up tomorrow Won't you bury me, in Wellington Wellington Wellington Wellington
