lyrics

You won’t believe me when I tell you how
All the old actions lead to here and now
I once was lying in the Hawaiian sun
And now I’m drinking down this bitter scum

Let me give you a tease, please
of the thing that I've been on all week
Please just tell me the problem
You might have the same old disease

Well I have it all
Can you get it out?
Can you save my life?
Can you cure my health?

Well I’ve got the blues
All down inside
I’m feeling like
Something has died

You’d better not come around here while I’m medicating, I got a knife
here is the end of the line, I just wish I would have had some more time

And it’s all on you
The mothership
The daily trip

And in a morning a long time ago
I went out into the streets
And played a tune I knew that everyone would know
But no one even stomped their feet

I’m playing parts I never really learned in school
There’s too much that wasn’t reached
The Swedish bitters drown the brain and the rules
I have nothing here to teach
