Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

I keep getting Badfish stuck in my head. Why is it that the majority of the music I've been listening to is oriented around heroin addiction? A full list of my experiences with that particular drug are as follows: the one and only time I've rolled, it was dirty.
That's it.
Unless I ever decide to roll again and it just happens to be bespeckled, I think I'm good for a lifetime. Anyhow, I don't greatly consider my one time use of MDMA as something particularly bad. After all, it was originally created to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which I'm sure I could've met the criteria at the time. So, I would consider it an attempt at self-treatment. ;)
And yet, I'd say that it was an interesting learning experience to say the least. I would have to agree overall with H.S.T. and his assertion, "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone..." and rightly so. It's not exactly a healthy lifestyle. But he does summarily conclude, "...they've always worked for me."
So, yeah, I'm sure they have their place, in music and pop culture.
But I think I'm good where I stand.

Although I have been thinking about asking my doctor, now that I have this nice shiny new insurance card, about a very low dose prescription to Xanax.

When you grab a hold of me
You tell me that I'll never be set free
I'm a parasite,
creep and crawl I step into the night.
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?
Ain't got no money to spend
I know the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with god Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

damn drug users
