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
