OD'd On Life Itself Lyrics
How could I fool you, rest and assure you
Take you off from here and put you on the line
Your back's to the pistol, iron bullets whistle
Landscapes open and the world it's mine, it's still mine
OD'd on life, life itself (repeat twice)
Writings appear on the wall
Curtains part and landscapes fall
It's the writings done in blood
Like a mummy's inscription
And a bat wing tongue
Well then the mouth of the cave
Will open up wide, wide as the world
That's mine, mine, still mine
So don't you fear the trade in lives
Life loves force and force loves lives
This wedding in heaven was made up in hell
This victim as bride and life, life itself
OD'd on life, life itself
Take you off from here and put you on the line
Your back's to the pistol, iron bullets whistle
Landscapes open and the world it's mine, it's still mine
Curtains part and landscapes fall
It's the writings done in blood
Like a mummy's inscription
And a bat wing tongue
Will open up wide, wide as the world
That's mine, mine, still mine
Life loves force and force loves lives
This wedding in heaven was made up in hell
This victim as bride and life, life itself

In an old interview with Creem magazine, Eric Bloom says that "O.D.'d On Life Itself" is basically a song inspired when Sandy saw some girl who was "totally out of it, a real asshole; she'd O.D.'d on life".
According to Eric Bloom, this song was inspired by a girl who had "O.D.'d on life".
