lyrics

I need a doctor, get me a doctor,
I need a refill, just this one time,
And then I'll be off it, best in the office,
Shit if I lost it, calling back now...

Nurse or a nightmare
She's my barstool queen of hell,
Who keeps me feeling well
And well fed-up under all her spells, 'till she's gone away.

Gone out the front door, straight out the front door,
gotta get out now, all was fine when,
When in through the window, how did the wind know,
I let the sin go? Cuddled up now...

(Chorus)

I don't even know if I can reap what she's sowing
But I want something beautiful
To knock me down and turn me all around.
All her lunacy that wakes making love to me
And fakes something pretty
Call her off cause she's the reddest cross around.

On the way home now, I'm building my Rome now(!)
I'm killing the coma, no more doctors.
I don’t need the needles, additional refills,
Medicinal females ain't so good now...

(Chorus)
That tell me...
Nurse or a nightmare
You're my barstool queen on high.
You keep me warm at night
And I'm fed up 'till the morning light
Drives the dream away.
