Chloroform

You look like you been here before

One or two many times

You look like you made a business deal

That crossed too many lines

You look like you been marked for life

And given up for dead

You look like you got someone else's

Hair growing out of your head

So where you gonna get your feelings from

After they've been removed?

Where you gonna get your water from

A glass or a plastic tube?

How you gonna keep your head up

When it's down there in your shoes?

How you gonna keep the big sleep

From closing in on you?

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Seems like our paths might have crossed

Many many moons ago

In some dark and evil place

But where I just don't know

Didn't you have a sidekick then?

Some flunky with a scar

Who did the deals you wouldn't touch

From the back seat of your car

And didn't you try to palm me off

With some Chinese opium

That didn't really do anything

Just made my lips grow numb

And didn't you punch my lights out

After I expressed my doubt?

But didn't you do that to everyone

After they sussed you out?

So where you gonna get your feelings from

After they've been removed?

Where you gonna get your water from

A glass or a plastic tube?

How you gonna keep your head up

When it's down there in your shoes?

How you gonna keep the big sleep

From closing in on you?

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Like chloroform, yeah

Why didn't you see it coming man

From way way down the pike

There had to be a payback, baby

Someone had to strike

Something had to bring it home

The mirror had to smash

When you hit those kind of highs

You know you have to crash

When you hit those kind of lows

You know there's further down

In the hands of forces

You just don't understand

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

Like chloroform

So where you gonna get your feelings from

After they've been removed?

Where you gonna get your water from

A glass or a plastic tube?

How you gonna keep your head up

When it's down there in your shoes?

How you gonna keep the big sleep

From closing in on you?
