Hey, sometimes I look at myself and Some reflections tell the story of a broken man All this and all mine, my mind is on fire Take the tablets stay in bed and everything is fine [[bridge:]] And you know you'll never laugh like that again Well that's okay, everything is gay Swallow the pill [[chorus:]] It's better when you're levelled by the sadness And the madness By the shaking in my mind (and the sadness, and the madness) Could you still demand (levelled by the sadness) When I crumble in your hand why (and the madness, and the sadness) They just fail to understand (and the madness) Lie down relax and just describe to me Where it hurts the most your thoughts on how your body feels Prescribe your prescriptions, it won't change a thing Symptomatic of the shaking of the new disease [bridge] [chorus x2] And I don't blame myself for feeling like I do And I can't leave myself in spite of you Hey, I am loathed to face another forty years Hey, I am loathed to face a stomach full of tears Someone, somewhere, you've got to help me please I can feel the pressure building with peroxatine Looking at you, looking at mne Every word you say is breaking up now I can't see [bridge] [chorus x2]
