89: MEDICAL MAN
Got the hiccups
And I’m sneezin’
Pickin’ tulips
Hear me weezin’.
Hallucinating
Seeing double
Speculating
I’m in trouble.
Medical man
Help if you can
Medical man
Life’s in your hand. (Chorus)
Got a headache
And my feet hurt
Pills that I take
Will make me burp.
Got a sore throat
And hay fever
End of my rope
Pain reliever.
Medical man
Help if you can
Medical man
Life’s in your hand. (Chorus)
Skin disorder
Keeps me itchin’
On the border
Of religion.
Got a stiff neck
And no health plan
Acute neurosis
Too much suntan.
Medical man
Help if you can
Medical man
Life’s in your hand. (Chorus)
Sitting in the waiting room
I hesitate, to believe, you’ll see
Me soon
It’s way past noon.
Wonder why you take so long
When you finally, see me
You’re already gone.
Seems so wrong.
Never had a chance to say
Just exactly, where I’m hurting
Anyway.
Then time to pay.
“Medical Man”
