Please don't be too long while you're gone

There ain't enough to keep me here too long

Not like the last time I stood in line

Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall, yeah



The new day, the new tray that comes around

Pills and all, enough to kill him while he sleeps

Is this the alley we drag him to,

Just off of Hollywood and Normandy



If it worked like she said it would

Just like livin' in Hollywood

Just like a bad dream, or so it seems

Just like I'm back in emergency



Please don't be too long while you're gone

There ain't enough to keep me here too long

Not like the last time I stood in line

Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall



If it worked like she said it would

Just like livin' in Hollywood

Just like a bad dream, or so it seems

Just like I'm back in emergency
