( Mark Callaghan) A wholesome love is what she finds Everywhere it plays on her mind She sees it at the movies up on the screen Doesn't understand that it's not what it seems Vicariously living from day to day She's in the ether and there's no escape She goes out walking every night Bathed in the glow of the neon lights She knows deep down that it's not enough But she wants what she sees all the same Nothing she does seems to shake that mood So she just takes a pill for the pain She just takes a pill for the pain A safe little fix is what she gets Every night from her TV set Her single bedroom is filled with magazines You know the kind that always feature the queen She knows everything about their lives Who's doing who and who is who's wife And one day soon all her dreams will come true Until then she'll just have to make do She knows deep down that it's not enough But she wants what she sees all the same Nothing she does seems to shake that mood So she just takes a pill for the pain She just takes a pill for the pain Just a little bald pill for the pain yeah A little bald pill for the pain
