Medicine for the suffering

lyrics

I have treated many patients like you in my time,
It’s Certainly conflict of the body and the mind.
How’s your spleen?
How’s your Colon?
--Sphincter?
I’m going to snap right here and here
What do you think of
when I say the word “peanut?”
Did you ever try on your mother’s panties?
I’ve made a tea of foxglove, chamomily,
Calla Lilly, Penny Royal and Molasses.
It’ll kick your ass.

Pain… seems to me an insufficient reason
Not to be content.
Being dead is quite painless
But we don’t want that,
now do we?
The whole person.
Quick, turn him on his side,
whilst I draw a sample of his life force.
