Verse 1 Two weeks ago I saw you, I was feeling off my peak I hope that you can help because my heart is growing weak To get a good diagnosis, don't use that instrument on your shelf Instead you need to look inside yourself... Chorus 1 Don't call the doctor I don’t need one more M.D. to write a prescription To fix my chemistry; I just need a refill Of your time and energy Give it to me, give it to me... Verse 2 In my analysis, our synthesis is taking much too long I can’t dismiss a suspicion this hypothesis is wrong You must grasp the subject firmly, and study her very well Or the prize you get will simply be no belle... Chorus 2 Don’t call the doctor I don’t need a Ph.D. to write up a thesis Arguing for our potency; just tell me your feelings Let down your defense committee Give it to me, give it to me...

verse It's in the evening and everything's all right Pistol-packin' mama, don't you tell me dirty lies for I'll be sleeping underground tonight and the starlight and the moon will shine without my oversight... chorus Wasting away, spilling time from a bottle Keeping one hand up on the wheel and one hand on the throttle Wasting the day, spilling time from a bottle Watching all of our dreams like the stars going out one by one. verse I've got no time now for things I can't abide and trying to escape yourself requires a long long ride so grab a barstool to keep yourself afloat If the weather in my head gets out, you'll need your overcoat

So you wake up in the morning and you try to feel all right Good night, sweet dreams, good night And there's no-one left to love you and no-one to hold you tight Good night, sweet dreams, good night And you watch your dreams drift by and sail forever out of sight Good night, sweet dreams, good night And the ones that you have left will never ever come out right Good night, sweet dreams, good night The idle thoughts you ponder in the evening Become monsters who eat your soul up in one bite But there's no-one left to love you and no-one to hold you tight Good night, sweet dreams, good night

Things never really seemed right on the front of me It seemed a cruel distortion of humanity An accident – erroneous ontogeny And that is why I'm changing my anatomy. Sometimes the cells divide into calamity Sometimes I think I must need a lobotomy Who wants to be a freak from a laboratry But even so I must change my anatomy. Ohh... maybe it's best to let it go... Sometimes the things you think you want are no better than the things you know. Ohh... if you think things over long enough you'll begin to wonder whether up is down. Brains don't always match up with biology You can't make everything right with technology But leaving things unchanged just makes a sadder me So that is why I must change my anatomy. (solo - 2 verses) Ohhh... that I could wake up in a different universe Maybe it would be better, though possibly it could be worse Ohh... if you doubt yourself hard enough you'll begin to wonder whether up is down. I never really wanted to make progeny I've had more than I wanted of ontogeny It's time to undo the things that shatter me And that is why I must change my anatomy.

Well the rich bought the world, and sent the bill to me and you And the ones who should have warned us have more important things to do They've got their marching orders to say things that just aren't true Each move goes to the least unwilling pawn And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. The Partygoers promised us oppression they would fight with guns and Jesus and and gritted teeth, minds locked up safe and tight But peaceful protesters are welcomed by police bearing arms While the Partygoers cheer on their plastic lawn And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. They took away due process, and locked it in a cell. Nobody has heard from it, though we're told it's doing well. They promise someday all will be revealed in a secret show-and-tell I sometimes wonder if it's all a con And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. You say you didn't realize how much control they had They own your phone and TV screen, all the books on your iPad So it's okay the NSA reads your texts and thinks you're on a jihad and the FBI goes camping on your lawn And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. You voted for the frackers; I guess some people never learn. They fracked the midwest up quite well; I guess we deserved a turn. They'll be fracking up the seaside soon -- oh, the clean-up jobs you'll earn and the stretches of oily sand you'll walk upon And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. With copyright extended from now until doomsday Vague threats of litigation can make us pay and pay. As yet there's still no evidence what Aaron did was wrong But what's justice when your hero is Genghis Khan? And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. Some welfare queens on Wall Street decided tax is obsolete That is to say, for them - the budget's our task to complete And if you want a safety-net, well, the shelter's down the street It's quite popular -- I hear the spaces are all gone And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. The TSA can grope your kids, but still that's not enough to make you stop and ask why they are doing all that stuff Real terrorists aren't terrified of people acting tough They just put on a badge and a baton And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. They think some protoplasm is worth more than a mother's life They'll bomb out every clinic to save it from the surgeon's knife And then reward the rapist with his victim for a wife When the child is born, all protection is withdrawn. And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. The ice caps will be gone soon, but still they plug their ears Rising tides, long droughts, and violent storms won't wash away their sneers 'Cuz some weatherman in Tacoma says we're just playing on your fears Wait 'til the disastrous conclusion is foregone. And I don't know where we're going if this goes on. I haven't said enough, but maybe you'll understand. I've probably talked your ear off - I hope that's covered by your plan. The situation calls for words outside of my command And I don't like where we're going if this goes on.

I left my heart in San Francisco I lost my mind in Timbuktu I left my lungs and my right kidney In Tokyo and Sydney And I'm holding my breath wondering what to do Because I'm losing all my organs over you. I shipped my nose to Kuala Lumpur Emailed my earlobes to Kalamazoo I faxed my knees to the twin cities They're tied up in committees Working out which one gets where and who Since I've been losing all my organs over you. I lost my spine in northern Denmark Misplaced my brain in Malibu I traded my right femur To an airline ticket schemer And I'm hopping I can get what I've been due And I'll stop losing all my organs over you. Yes I've discarded all my tarsals And wrapped them up in parcels They're going out today UPS blue Got to stop losing all my organs over you. (slow down) Now I've told you my sad story I'm sorry it's so gory But pretty things are often less than true Please help me get myself together over youuuu.....

Please remind me what it was I was put on this planet for ‘Cause every step I take I find a new hole in the floor And everywhere I look I find another open door To somewhere not meant for me That’s not where I’m spozed to be Where do you want to be? I want to be with you! What is it that you see? I see myself outside the light That shines on all the beautiful girls Who fly..... All the beautiful girls Can fly away. That dream is dead, it’s time to put it in the ground And that one’s suffering, I ought to put it down It screams so loud it’s sure to bring the neighbors ‘round With all the help that they think I need Confusion is guaranteed What do you need to see? I want to know what’s real Where do you need to be? I need to be inside the light That shines from all the beautiful girls Who fly.... All the beautiful girls Can fly away. Then maybe I’d be with you Just think of all the things we could do All the beautiful girls Can fly.... All the beautiful girls Can fly away.

(Facsimile reprise) The other day out in the garden I saw your picture on TV You wouldn't say what was the matter Just like the way you did for me (main) You will live in a jar You will travel very far You will wonder who you are You will live with a cat Who says how about that And a little sports car Take me away from this riddle 'Cause I never heard the sound always running through my heart You will live in a tent You will be the president You will wonder what I meant You will live over there You will vanish in the air You will think that I don't care Take me away from this riddle 'Cause I never heard the sound always running through my heart You will be in a show Your progress will be slow You will not know where to go You will tell me what to do I won't listen to you Your mom will be there too You will be all alone You will be on the phone You will speak at the tone The answer will be near You will tremble with fear You will shed a silent tear (repeat from start thru "you will speak at the tone")

Can we go back where we were tomorrow yesterday? I wasn't finished wandering, there wasn't time to play You say there's lots of work to do And lots of bills to pay Okay We'll be back again someday Can I have my feelings back tomorrow yesterday? I really wasn't happy when you took them all away I don't know where you've taken them I really couldn't say Okay They'll be back again someday Bridge: The words I cross out and the words I keep'll be my only chance to work out how to say I barely can imagine all the people Living for today. ("Dreamer" break) Can I have my memories back tomorrow yesterday? I need to understand the depth of my naiveté And after all the things I'm going through, You want them right away Okay I'll have to make it up someday Can we have the future back tomorrow yesterday? I wasn't finished dreaming of a place where I could stay You say that dreams are pointless, So I've nothing more to say Okay I'll be back again someday
