Medicating

by Paul Simon

When you wake up...to white walls
And endless halls
There's an emptiness
That echoes through it all...
So sit back...in your bed
With your mind medicated
And your senses stuck on
The sick scent of the dead
You can call for...the doctor
It's all you've got anymore
He's the ticket to
The life you had before...
If I could just make 'em see that
I don't need this
Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Is there a way we could maybe...through therapy
Find a way to rate and release me?
I just need to...be outside even if supervised
Back to my job, back to my life
Yes, I know what I've done
And I regret it every day
If I could make things right
You know I'd find a way
But when I wake up to these white walls
And the endless halls of the hospital
I get lost in the emptiness
That echoes though it all
Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Doctor, I can't thank you enough
(Doctor, I can't thank you enough)
Doctor, you won't regret this
(Doctor, you won't regret this)
Doctor, I can't thank you enough
(Doctor, I can't thank you enough)
Doctor, you won't regret this
(Doctor, you won't regret this)
Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all!
(Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?) I'm no threat at all
(I don't need these walls)
I don't need this...place...
(Doctor, Doctor...what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?) I'm no threat at all
(I don't need these walls)
I'm no threat at all...
