I'm stuck here right now in this rushing scene Buses cars and taxis, gotta keep myself clean The word on the street is a word that I don't know With my lack of vocals, I'm a level below
And I call this number, I call a name, The dialtone is all that remains Leaving me in this empty day
Lighting up my life a bit with chocolate and pills The dull safe glow of boredom is a cure for all ills And I call my doctor and I see a shrink But they don't even know what to think, Prescribe the shit that gets me through each day
So take it easy, take it slow Passing me by while I don't know Deep inside I feel the tingle of the numb Paroxetine will heal me If only I could feel me
The city's just this alien place that I walk thgough The traffic's going nowhere, just round and round, The shoppers are buying nothing for their baskets, Just mingling the umbrellas into a cloud
Days of solitude and days of action Merge into a grey tarpaulin sky
On my bike, forgotten where I'm going, The junctions merge and deviate at times Lorries taking nothing as far as nowhere Like scalextric cars grip the white lines
Paroxetine can heal me If I could only feel me
Lighting up my life a bit with chocolate and pills The dull safe glow of boredom is a cure for all ills And I call my doctor and I see a shrink But they don't even know what to think, Prescribe the shit that gets me through each day
So take it easy, take it slow Passing me by while I don't know Deep inside I feel the tingle of the numb Paroxetine will heal me If only I could feel me
