Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so
Desperate and ravenous
I’m so weak and powerless over you
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away, come again some other day
Devil has my ear today, I'll never hear a word you say
He promised that I’d find a little solace and some peace of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Desperate, ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Over you
Thirteenth Step

the lyrics are talkin about how a drug addiction can take over your whole life and how you have to have it and how basically it can own you...but i agree - it is an awesome song

"Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china White as Dracula as I approach the bottom" China is the worldest biggest heroine exporter. Monkey, as in, monkey on his back, needs to be taken care of so he can get another hit. White as dracula, referring to an overdose before he hits rock bottom, and dies or rehabilitates.

Maynard and his semantic fucking mind.Such a perfect linguist.Though this song is still played on the radio..and I'm not quite fond of the radio..this song still holds alot.

This as close to a perfect song as you can get. You feel the ache of desire and the despair of not quite reaching your goal - who hasn't felt that??

i've just realized the run-on-words in this song with "China White"....ahem...I guess the whole album is about addiction, but possibly not in a totally literal way

"this song reeks of Tool."

Who is the girl in the video for this song, and the album art? I'm digging her, despite her creepiness.

"Little angel go away, come again some other day
Devil has my ear today, I'll never hear a word you say" ... despite my deep obsession for NIN, this has to be one of the greatest lines of a song that i've heard in a long time...

A beautiful, yet heart wrenching APC track. I found myself listening to this song when I was "Weak and Powerless." A personal favorite.

This is a good song, but overexposure has ruined it a little.

It's quite nice (if I'm in the mood for it). A little too somber to listen to every day.
