The Therapist

He said: Around these parts
As he laid a hand upon a thigh
Life’s so dumb, dull and low
That you’ve got to try harder to get higher

I stood in the firing line with my blindfold, arms behind
If you shoot, aim for the leg
And I’ll teach you how to beg me

I get the sweetest sensations when I’m powerless
But despite myself, there are times when I have felt
I’m not in the mood for any of this
These scots west-coast delta blues give me the hump

I’m nude in the firing line with my blindfold, arms behind
If you shoot me in the leg, I’ll teach you how to fake prescriptions
Look below the slabs and underneath the crabs
My therapist has the rapist’s heart

These scots west-coast delta blues
Give me the hump-backed bells of hell
So shut up, your time is up

Time’s up, shut up
Time is up
Time’s up, shut up
Time is up
Time’s up, shut up
Good-bye I’ll see you later on
Tick tock, running over
Good-bye now I’ll see you later on
Tick tock, working all night
Time’s up, shut up
Time is up
Bye bye see you later on
Time is up
Bye bye see you later on
Time is up
