I Am Not a Doctor

Am I out of my depth?
Uninterrupted multiplicity, this is where you lose me
Come again, if you please?
Aluminium lunar luminous is taking over us
Am I missing the point?
This reeling speel, forgive me if I'm wrong
But are you making this up as you go along?
And it bores me to tears
Get a handle on the dialogue
It's a one man show
It's a monologue

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I can't figure it out
This cascading fountain of nothingness, you're a mess
I simply cannot believe
You met a mighty metamorphous, that's ridiculous
I am somewhat confused
Selected, collected from the gene pool
They can keep you youthful?
Well, excusez-moi, Monsieur Cosmique, je suis protoplasmique, qu'est-ce que c'est?

How can I spell it out for you
I am no ordinary fool
And even though there's nothing left to say
You go ahead and say it anyway

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

'.. if you want to .. this fuckin' whole thing.
... We got everything, just a .. And that's right before ..'
'.., what's that?'
'And, and call it- You've caught a little bit of .., that's all.
... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!'
'Last .. today?'
'Right.'

[Samples of Roisin Murphy]
Tuesday. three. oh. eight. p. m.

When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing

(Sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me)

No, you can't help it if you have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody

Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)

Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

Please accept my humble apology
S should've never happened
O oh my god how could I?
R rotten thing to do
R really didn't mean it
Y why'd I have to go and do a thing like that?
I'm sorry, so sorry,
I'm so sorry darling
Sorry
Well?

If you hear me, baby, blink!
Do you even have the capability left to think?
There seems to be a missing link
Everybody's had a chance to see how far I can sink

As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
If you hear me, baby, blink!

You're just so uptight
I don't suppose you have the energy to put up a fight
You just might implode before I get a chance at cracking the code
Take a good look around
Milk and honey's getting thin on the ground
If you hear me then make a sound

If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink

If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink

There will be no recompense when I'm screaming in the face of your silence
Still I draw a blank
Can't go down any further than I've already sank
If you're not there at all
Someone tell me why I'm talking to the wall
Do you hear me call?

If you continue to ignore these resonable demands
I'll be drawing up a new plan
The future is in your hands
Isn't it a crying shame your little game of hide and seek
Became so tiresome to me sometime last week?
The future is bleak

If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back

The lights are off
I know you're home
I burn your letters begging me to leave you alone
Keep your privacy
Your inner thoughts mean nothing to me
If you are waiting for me to take on my fair share of the blame
Honey your efforts are in vain
If you hear me call my name

If you hear me, baby, blink!
(If you hear me call your name)
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink [repeat]

If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink

Anybody, is there anybody in there?
Is there anybody, anybody in there?
Anybody, is there anybody in there?
Is there anybody?

(Burn... burn... burn...)

So if I blaze a trail
Hammer the final nail
So if I shake you off my tail
How can I fail?

Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt

Nausea the vertical climb
A fatal flaw in the design
I can't be sure that you'll open the door to me
The double indemnity

(Burn... burn... burn...)

A mouthful of pleasurable sensation
Shaken by sheer anticipation
Glad you asked me, I had to dash, you see
It's been a blast

(Burn)

All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn

Hysterical look at this chaos
All that I had and all that I lost
You are feeling sleepy
Very very sleepy

Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt

As for the bitter taste
Let it vanish into the flames
Don't let it go to waste
All the places and the names
This is the master stroke
Raised to the ground
And it all goes up in smoke
All my bridges burn

All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn

Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt [x3]

(Burn...)

All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn

(Burn... burn... burn...)

I'm the sidekick
The mimic
Ventriloquistic
(My lips moved) and you missed it
I need to know the mystery
Of your misery
(Give me some of that) magic
(I wanna be) I wanna be tragic

I wish I could just Xerox
(This is the paradox)
(You're waves) You're waves (in my brain) in my brain
(We could be) We could be one and the same
(Deep) Deep and meaningful artistic endeavor
(It's plain) it's plain (disdain) disdain
Makes you look clever

Everybody wants to be like you
Ah, show me what to do
Everybody wants to feel the way you do
Me too

I must fulfill my destiny
(Feel the force) Feel the force of your fury
Cock sure, you're a genius
Give me some (Give me some), reflect your glory
(All knowing) All knowing, (all bleeding) all bleeding
(I can dig it) I can dig it, Daddio
Tell me, show me, which way to go
(I really want to know)

Everybody wants to be like you
Ah, show me what to do
Everybody wants to feel the way you do
Me too

Everybody wants to be like you
Ah, show me what to do
Everybody wants to feel the way you do
Me too

Everybody wants to be like you
Ah, tell me what to do
Everybody wants to feel the way you do
Take me with you

Ah, show me what to do

Me too, take me with you (ah), take me with you (ah)...

[Fade in chorus]

(You see, it goes like this)

Momma, don't you turn away
Just because I've gone astray
Out of the fire, into the frying pan, this is the story of a sorry man
I have been known to deviate myself from the path that is set
But let us not forget about the man who decided to dedicate his life to the jetset
He is now just a shadow of his former self
And dark clouds hover overhead
The living dead, move over, you see it goes like this

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker, don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker, this will all be mine one day
Well

I myself do not think that such a raw ambition, his disposition
To be a sin in itself, though
Should we not forget about the mess that he got himself in

Where now stands this meek and empty man, there once was a typhoon
Earthquaking, a phenomena, higher than the rest of us
'Cause he was steppin' on us, steppin' over people
And this is how the story goes, folks

I will go undefeated, I'll be protected
You think you're big time, I'll show you big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air, crawling in the pit of dispair

Once he got his foot in the door,
well you know he was a fast stepper, a bad taste in the mouth kind of guy,
funny fella though, always had a joke or two,
but be careful, the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one about the id, the ego, the super ego,
the monumental man sat back to watch his automobile grow
He was a Lamborghini kind of guy, got so high
He would swear he could touch the sky
But the sky was the limit

He was calling, he was crawling, riddled by the immensities of life,
ladies of the night would call all hours of the day, every day, all day,
calling for his mommy when the day was done
Yes, he was moving, he was shaking, so lonesome tonight,
And his eyes belied his smile awhile,
Calling for his mummy but his mummy didn't come

Once he got his foot in the door,
well you know he was a fast stepper, a bad taste in the mouth kind of guy,
funny fella though, always had a joke or two,
but be careful, the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one about the id, the ego, the super ego,
the monumental man sat back to watch his automobile grow
He was a Lamborghini kind of guy, got so high
He would swear he could touch the sky
But the sky was the limit

I could be a mover, I could be a shaker, don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker, this will all be mine one day
I will go undefeated, I'll be protected
You think you're big time, I'll show you big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air, crawling in the pit of dispair
