Guided by Voices

I Am a Scientist

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me

All of my impurities and evils yet unknown

I am a journalist - I write to you to show you

I am an incurable

And nothing else behaves like me

and I know what's right

But I'm losing sight

Of the clues for which I search and choose

To abuse

To just unlock my mind

Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a pharmacist

Prescriptions I will fill you

Potions, pills and medicines

To ease your painful lives

I am a lost soul

I shoot myself with rock & roll

The hole I dig is bottomless

But nothing else can set me free

and I know what's right

But I'm losing sight

Of the clues for which I search and choose

To abuse

To just unlock my mind

Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me

I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me

Everything is right

Everything works out right

Everything fades from sight

Because that's alright with me
