|I'm doing very well
I can block out the present and the past now
I know by now you think I should have straightened myself out
Thank you, drop dead
Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
There is no love in modern life
I'm doing very well
It's a miracle I even made it this far
The motion of taxis excites me
When you peel it back and bite me
Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
There is no hope in modern life
Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can't fight
No true friends in modern life


Diazepam (that's Valium)
Tamazepam...Lithium
HRT, ECT
How long must I stay on this stuff?

Don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore

Lyrics

I'm doing very well

I can block out the present and the past now I know by now you think I should have straightened myself out Thank you, drop dead

Something is squeezing my skull Something I can barely describe There is no love in modern life

I'm doing very well It's a miracle I even made it this far The motion of taxis excites me When you peel it back and bite me

Something is squeezing my skull Something I can barely describe There is no hope in modern life

Something is squeezing my skull Something I can't fight No true friends in modern life

Diazepam (that's Valium) Tamazepam...Lithium HRT, ECT How long must I stay on this stuff?

Don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore Don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore PLEASE DON'T gimmie anymore Don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore You swore you would not gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore... don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore

Please don't gimmie anymore Don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore You swore you would not gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore Don't gimmie anymore, don't gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Oh, you swore You swore! You swore! You swore you would not gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore Gimmie anymore
