I hate the title. I hate some medicine. It's really long too, i'm sorry about that.
Pills Steal my Ecstatic Delusions I’ve turned into a pumpkin It’s way past midnight It’s time to go home he says to me I’m laughing like a jester I’m much too preoccupied about dancing a tango I’ve never done so, but I know I can At least inside the world within my head I’m whirling round and round My feet don’t touch the ground I’m off to Margaritaville I can’t get there fast enough Set me up with another Sex on the Beach shooter I’m from this seaside town I say as I grin The bartender looks at me curiously, then winks As he sets it on the bar I swig it down and I order one more Dazzling me I am perceptive, I am sharp, I am effervescent, and I hear God’s songs As you look at me in despair, casually looking at your watch I’m the laughter in your tears I’m out of control again, flying as high as the fireworks on the 4th of July I’m as brilliant as their colors I can’t get enough of this rush in my veins The lights come up It’s time to go I beg the bartender for one more round And he says no I slash him with my idioms and pull his tip off the rail I turn on my heels and we’re out the door The night’s still young, my head can’t decelerate I’m thinking faster and faster, jumbled and disorganized You tell me we must go home Entire petulance I say I want to drive the car like a rocket I am soaring; don’t end the party in my mind I want to build a bonfire on the beach and watch the sun come up You once again persuade me with your gentleness And usher me into the car Now the of the party is gone I’m screaming at you from the top of my lungs I’ve changed gears, There’s no animation, no contagious smiles to be found As gross irritability sets in I bang my fits against the dashboard’s glow I’m out of charm as it would seem You didn’t realize I’d be the worst nightmare that you’ve ever dreamed. The sun upon my face Brings back yesterdays gone The breeze blows through my tangled life How did I end up here? There are no seasons anymore They just melt into long days of contempt They say I’m looking better I think they just pretend Smile at the girl with the disheveled hair Placate her, before she loses her mind again Chances are they’re gonna find me in the dark The pills, they kill all my light I miss the extraordinary view from the top How I miss that feeling of ease It’s the manic depression that’s robbing me Sweet misery, I do think I have finally found you I’m starving for that feeling The colossal high Give me a pair of wings Just for a day So I can fly I don’t care about the price anymore Somebody tell me this is all a wicked nightmare Wake me up, am I dreaming? Give me just one ray of sunlight Instead of constant hurricanes Stop the rain; please end all of the pain.
