"The Green Fairy" lyrics

Oh, green fairy what you've done to me?
I see Lucy in the sky telling me I'm high
I went out for some milk three days ago
I met Dali in the street
He knocked me off my feet

Now I start to see that all's not well
There's policemen in my bed telling me I'm dead
If only I could show them what I've seen
I'll have to take you down below where insects run the show

Sound and vision... turning inside out
The lines make you look older and you're gone

Every day I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman I'm chasing 'round
How does it feel
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me down the river

The neighbours say that I need locking up
Well they wouldn't be the first to want me in a hearse
No one sleeps for I am still awake
Pass me over La Fee Verte I'll give you all a scare
Dogs in handbags everyone's a star
You look behind your eyelids and you're gone

And every day I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman I'm chasing 'round
How does it feel
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me down the river

And I'm not gonna wait for tomorrow
I just look back and wait for a sign
I'm not gonna celebrate my freedom
So just send me down the river

Every day I got someone bringing me down
Got the eyes of a madman I can't look bright
How does it feel
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me down the river
