track 05 from the album "New Year's Eve In The Hospice Ballroom"
lyrics
How it started is not important
She was trapped there in her bed
No more planning, just existing
In a melody now
And every night she dances while the needles jump into her arms
And she says you’re my doctor
I just watch her
And we both hum that song
I rang her sister I tried to beg her
But there was silence on the line
Some suspicion, some superstition
There’s no medicine here
And every night she dances while the needles jump into her arms
And she says she’d pray for courage
That I would need it
That’s what the doctors say
And the moral to the story is
That doctors always tell you this:
I can cure you now- you just close your eyes
And hum this song
A little notebook which she would scrawl in
Brownish dots dried on the page
Scraps of paper, cookie fortunes
And things she’d do someday
And every night she dances while the needles jump into her arms
And she says I trust you doctor
So I’ll just lie here
While the needles play
And the moral to the story is
That doctors always tell you this:
I can cure you now- this won’t hurt a bit
I can cure you now- just a little pinch
I can cure you now-you just close your eyes
