[Intro]
"Daddy, daddy, the doctor's calling."
*laugh*
[?]
"It's time for renovation"
"Oh yes, this is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me"
What's that sound?
What's that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound?
Ahhhhh
"The diagnosis was a Dual Personality Disorder, combined with psychotic overtones, and manic depressive tendencies, in short, stark raving mad"
[Verse 1]
The doctor is calling
The doctor is calling (Dave, the doctor is calling)
Something's going wrong
Nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room (What'd they say?)
Something's going down
But I can't make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind
[Chorus]
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
[Post-Chorus]
Ohhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
[Verse 2]
Always sharing trips
Remove me from your lips
Sight and mind still and never go away (Go away)
One too many tantrums
Deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away (Away, away, away)
[Chorus]
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalk line crawling (Ooh, Aah)
I hear the doctor calling me away (Ooh, Aah)
[Spoken]
"When the neural transmitters don't respond normally to the impulses and stimulate the synapsis, the result is what is medically known as cerebral meltdown..."
[Bridge]
This place is my home
My mind still runs free
The doctor's prescription
Less for you and more for me
[Instrumental Break]
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
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
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Ooohh
[Chorus]
The coat of arms falling (The coat of arms falling) (Ooh, aah)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling) (Ooh, aah)
The family crest is falling (The family crest is falling) (Ooh, aah)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling) (Ooh, aah)
Oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
I see the chalk line crawling (The coat is falling) (Ooh, aah)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling) (Ooh, aah)
A merciful embalming (The crest is falling) (Ooh, aah)
I hear, I hear, I hear, I hear, ooh calling me away
(Away) (repeated)
