[Verse 1]
Don't call the doctor
Don't call the doctor
I can't bear his grin
It's too late for him

[Verse 2]
Don't call the preacher
Don't call the preacher
I will not confess my sins
It's too late for him

[Chorus]
But even if Jesus Christ himself
Even if some great whisperer could bring me back to health
Honey you can light those candles, watch as they burn out
Don't you have better things to think about?

[Verse 3]
Don't call me "brother"
Don't call my mother
Oh all she'll do is rage
Like some comedy ba-by

[Verse 4]
Call the undertaker
Call the undertaker
By the time he gets here
Y'all can watch me disappear
[Chorus]
But even if Jesus Christ himself
Even if some great whisperer could bring me back to health
Honey you can light those candles, watch as they burn out
Don't you have better things to think about?

[Bridge]
You called the doctor (goddamn)
You called the doctor

[Chorus]
Even if Jesus Christ himself
Even if some great whisperer could bring me back to health
Honey you can light those candles, watch as they burn out
Don't you have better things to think about?
