Chloroform Lyrics - Songs Of No Consequence - Graham Parker

You look like you been here before 

One or two many times 

You look like you made a business deal 

That crossed too many lines 

You look like you been marked for life 

And given up for dead 

You look like you got someone else's 

Hair growing out of your head 

So where you gonna get your feelings from 

After they've been removed? 

Where you gonna get your water from 

A glass or a plastic tube? 

How you gonna keep your head up 

When it's down there in your shoes? 

How you gonna keep the big sleep 

From closing in on you?

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Seems like our paths might have crossed 

Many many moons ago 

In some dark and evil place 

But where I just don't know 

Didn't you have a sidekick then? 

Some flunky with a scar 

Who did the deals you wouldn't touch 

From the back seat of your car 

And didn't you try to palm me off 

With some Chinese opium 

That didn't really do anything 

Just made my lips grow numb 

Photos 

And didn't you punch my lights out 

After I expressed my doubt? 

But didn't you do that to everyone 

After they sussed you out? 

So where you gonna get your feelings from 

After they've been removed? 

Where you gonna get your water from 

A glass or a plastic tube? 

How you gonna keep your head up 

When it's down there in your shoes? 

How you gonna keep the big sleep 

From closing in on you? 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform, yeah 

Why didn't you see it coming man 

From way way down the pike 

There had to be a payback, baby 

Someone had to strike 

Something had to bring it home 

The mirror had to smash 

When you hit those kind of highs 

You know you have to crash 

When you hit those kind of lows 

You know there's further down 

In the hands of forces 

You just don't understand 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

So where you gonna get your feelings from 

After they've been removed? 

Where you gonna get your water from 

A glass or a plastic tube? 

How you gonna keep your head up 

When it's down there in your shoes? 

How you gonna keep the big sleep 

From closing in on you? 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform 

Like chloroform
