Graham Parker & The Figgs - Chloroform lyrics

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 gla** 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 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 gla** 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 gla** 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 Like chloroform
