Old 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 Dalм 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 [bad word] the show 
Sound and vision turning inside out 
The lines make you look older then you’re gone 

And everyday 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 it wouldn’t be a first to want me in a hurse 
No one sleeps for I am still awake 
Pass me over La Fée Verte, I’ll give you all a scare 

Dogs in handbags, everyone’s a star 
You look behind your eyelids then you’re gone 

And everyday 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 

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

And everyday 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
