Cover art for $300 lyrics by Soul Coughing

doughty said that this song was about addiction: that this song was basically him "pleading with God to let me [m doughty] do drugs..."

the looped clip is chris rock, and i think the joke appeared back-masked somehow on his CD, that is what accounts for the slurred speech.

what a scary, burning, bubbling, crushing, sad and vitriolic song...a gem

@Dead$y i love the way you describe the song, you nailed it
