Seen the Doctor Songtext

von Michael Penn

I loved a girl once
Beyond compare
She saw inside me
And gave me air
She was assisting
My surgery
My heart was opened
As she put a mask on me
I'm breathing
But it's become a chore
"Now that you've seen the doctor
Don't call me anymore"

I was impatient
I was not in full arrest
And the symptoms were induced by something
I could not digest
She'd said a mouthful
I'd swallowed whole
My heart starts beating
A capriole,
A murmur,
Too different to ignore
"Now that you've seen the doctor
Don't call me anymore"

I underwent
and it smelled
of a wild goose chase
Then I saw your face
upside down

He comes in creeping
He is a creep
A samurai
It's not fair peeking
(that is a lie)
Mermaid on Pico
Lifts her fin,
Demands a towel
And thinking of you
Is not avowal
And over
And over it I pour
"Now that you've seen the doctor
Don't call me anymore"

I'm breathing
But it's become a chore
Now that I've seen the doctor
You're just a fucking bore
Like Dorothy Lamour
Dolled up in Singapore
To meet the Commodores
Don't call me anymore
