Cover art for Rubber Ball lyrics by Cage the Elephant

i read this is about his past herione addiction.

Rolling around like a big rubber ball

Spinning the tops as the tables they turn Made some mistakes but I still couldn't learn Covered my tracks, thought I was fine No self-control, now I'm back here in line

obviouisly references to his experiences on drugs and getting over them. impressive controll for a dude in his twenties.
