Seen The Doctor Lyrics - Michael Penn

I loved a girl once 

beyond compare 

She saw inside me 

and gave me air 

She was assisting 

my surgery 

My heart was opened 

as she put a mask on me 

I'm breathing 

but it's become a chore 

"Now that you've seen the doctor 

don't call me anymore" 

I was impatient 

I was not in full arrest 

and the symptoms were induced by something 

I could not digest 

She'd said a mouthful 

I'd swallowed whole 

My heart starts beating 

a capriole, 

a murmur, 

too different to ignore 

"Now that you've seen the doctor 

don't call me anymore" 

I underwent 

and it smelled 

of a wild goose chase 

Then I saw your face 

upside down 

He comes in creeping 

He is a creep 

a samurai 

It's not fair peeking 

(that is a lie) 

Mermaid on Pico 

lifts her fin, 

demands a towel 

And thinking of you 

is not avowal 

And over 

and over it I pour 

"Now that you've seen the doctor 

don't call me anymore"
