The Doctor Lyrics

I read your book

Shouldn't you be dead?

I needed to take a look

At all the things you said

It was just a party

But one without an end

It's clear that you could hardly

Be without a friend

So that is how it goes

It's time for tea again

Anything it takes

To forget about the pain

So you need a doctor

Well they'll put you in touch

Anything you want

And thank you very much

A face that looked so innocent

That yearned for higher times

A life-style so itinerant

That's how someone climbs

Like tomorrow doesn't matter

Oh how that's far from true

I wonder how it felt

To wake up and be you

I saw all the photos

What am I to think?

I can see the way it goes

Stop moving then you'll sink

Always on the right end

Of so much bad advice

And now you have to try and mend

Cos people weren't that nice

So that is how it went

When one supports the other

But everyone is fucked-up

As you will soon discover

Back to the doctor

You float in like a dancer

Anything you want

But none of that's the answer

A face that needed more and more

You couldn't find the switch

And did they forget to tell you

That methadone makes you itch

But nothing's going to stop you

As you head back to the sky

Don't you know you don't have wings

So you can never fly

Yes nothing in this world will stop you

As you head back up to the sky

And you should know you don't have wings

So you can never fly
