[Verse 1]
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 Dali in the street, he knocked me off my feet

[Break]
Oh, oh, oh (Ah)

[Verse 2]
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 insects run the show

[Pre-Chrous 1]
Sound and vision turning inside out
The lines make you look older then you’re gone

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
The neighbours say that I need locking up
Well they wouldn’t be the first to want me in a hearse
No one sleeps for I am still awake
Pass me over La Fée Verte, I’ll give you all a scare
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dogs in handbags, everyone’s a star
You look behind your eyelids then you’re gone

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na

[Chorus]
And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman, I can't look round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river
