Hymn of the Medical Oddity Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, all the words I should not know
That those doctors wrote on me
Swell up and thrum their syllables.
Won't let me get to sleep
[Chorus]

So I drive around and wait for it
Follow familiar roads
Emptied of every memory
Under a sheet of silence and unmarked snow
[Verse 2]
Then idle in some parking lot
Smoke half a smoke and ask

Preserve me from my past
[Chorus 2]
Repair our potholes, prevent plant closures
And if they remember me at all
Make them remember me
As more than a queer experiment
More than a diagram in their quarterly
Make them remember me
