Old green fairy, what you’ve done to me I see Lucy in the sky telling me I’m high I went out for some milk three days ago I met Dalm in the street, he knocked me off my feet
Now I start to see that all’s not well There’s policemen in my bed telling me I’m dead If only I could show them what I’ve seen I’ll have to take you down below where insects run the show Sound and vision turning inside out The lines make you look older then you’re gone
And everyday I got someone bringing me down I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real? So just send me down the river
The neighbours say that I need locking up Well it wouldn’t be a first to want me in a hurse No one sleeps for I am still awake Pass me over La Fée Verte, I’ll give you all a scare Dogs in handbags, everyone’s a star You look behind your eyelids then you’re gone
And everyday I got someone bringing me down I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real? So just send me down the river
I’m not gonna wait for tomorrow I just look back and wait for a sign And I’m not gonna celebrate my freedom So just send me down the river
And everyday I got someone bringing me down I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real? So just send me down the river
