Nurse

Lyrics

(One, two, three, four, two, two, three four) [Verse] I wake up sometimes past midnight My breathing's shallow and my chest is tight And I doubt I could blow out a birthday candle You say we're young but you're never too young To put a cash deposit on an iron lung But the payments might be more than I can handle [Chorus 1] But would you believe me? Would you be fool enough to believe me? If I told you I'd be satisfied With a weekend visit from a patient guide To make the steps I take a little firmer You say you're proud but I wasn't too proud So wander the lobby in a cotton shroud As you call me down with just a gentle murmur [Verse 2] But would you relieve me? Would you be cool enough to relieve me If you found me in a fever in my bed? Or would you deceive me? Would you be cool enough to deceive me? Would you lie about my temperature As I hallucinate this talking cure And I hear the words you swear you never said?
