Shocked Straight Lyrics
And so the knife comes down...another curtain fallsAnd no one hears the sound...and no one takes the callFrom me and my anxiety...locked up in these four wallsI come to you now I'm alone...with my defenses downI tell you everything I need...I get down on the groundI always know that when I go...that I'll be back againShocked straight--doctor can you get my medicineShocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm inShocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me inIf I could listen to my mind...and keep the world outside my door...But time has opened up my eyes and shown me somethin' moreNow all I want is to be free...and get up off the floorWhy can't you look into my heart...Why can't you ever let me knowYou're always takin' me apart...you're never lettin' goThere's always somethin' on your mind...This ain't realityShocked straight--doctor can you get my medicineShocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm inShocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me inWhy you be so hardWhy you be so hardWhy you be so hardI know it's gonna take some time...for me to straighten out my headTo say what's on my mind...to hear those words I saidAnd while I'm tryin' to learn to feel...You keep on tellin' me...Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicineShocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm inShocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me inShocked straight...Shocked straight...Shocked straight...when you gonna let me inWhy you be so hardWhy you be so hardWhy you be so hard
