"My Numan High"
Harriett Branch

18 years does not
a comfort make
This Numan High
I can't seem to shake.

You are my drug
A true addiction
Don't want help for
This painful affliction.

Replicas, Friends
I'll take them all
Machmen, Warriors
Til the end of it all.

"And finally this,"
I shout & I cry,
"Inject the CD
So I can get high."
