I met her down at the apothecary |
|
Her sad sad eyes, the burden she carried |
|
Oh darling, try this one if you need a friend |
|
I've got the cure for the shape that you're in |
|
When you met me you were numb from the voice in your head |
|
Conspiracy delusions that your boyfriend kept fed |
|
I sewar I want nothing, just give me your hand |
|
I've got the cure for the shape that you're in |
|
With her saccharine luster, she's a hard little pill |
|
But she eased me and taught my hands to be still |
|
Just once in the morning, and evening again |
|
She had the cure for the shape I was in |
|
All delusions of grandeur, they've long left my head |
|
As I gave up the notion that I've been well bred |
|
First she shot me with whisky, then chased me with gin |
|
But swore I was the cure for the shape she was in |
|
Then she left me here reeling with that time-release feeling |
|
Like a long wisp of hunger, I swung from the ceiling |
|
So if you see me down at the apotheceary again |
|
I can't find a cure for the shape that I'm in |
