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 Dalì 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
