I?ve had a drink and a smile in every port of heaven
And from 5 on the dial I?m at 8, 9, 10 and 11
I gotta find a way
I gotta fix me a buzz
I?ve got a pain like a pain
And I want it to stay
Could be mine, could be yours
Could be there any time I want
Nurse, make me well
I come here straight from hell so the ground is yours
I?ve been through anger, peace and honesty
And all I got was patience ? yes I did
But the good?s getting better
And the bad are merely minor frustration
I?ve got to find a way to keep the way I find
?Coz the chances are good that it won?t let you down
Like maybe drinking with keef
Or seeing Dolly Parton?s tits
Nurse, make me well
De-louse me, clean me up ?til I?m free to go
keep it maximum
File under ?Lost in the truth somewhere?
And you?ll find me
I got my hate, and my fear, and my hang-ups
Here to remind me
I gotta climb my way
I gotta kick the crust
I?ve got to make like I do, like I always did
Keeping time for the kind not designed to waste time
Nurse, make me fine
Remind me that there?s never been a better time to be alive
?To the better times
?To the best times
?To the bed times
?This sheet is getting sticky
