This song is about drugs (obviously) which They Might Be Giants wouldn’t normally do but this album is really taking shots for the mainstream.
[Verse 1]
There were eighty-seven Advil
In the bottle now there's thirty
Left
I ate forty-seven so what
Happened to the other
Ten?
Why do you
Suspiciously change the
Subject and break my
Concentration as I
Dump the bottle out and I
Count the Advil up
Again?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't interrupt me
As I struggle
To complete this thought
Have some respect
For someone
More forgetful
Than yourself
[Chorus]
And I'm
Not
Done
And I
Won't be
Till my
Head falls
Off
[Verse 2]
Hitting every pocket on my
Shirt, pants and over-
-coat
And I'm hitting them again
But I don't know where I put
My notes
Clearing my throat and
Gripping the lectern I
Smile and face my
Audience, clearing his
Throat and smiling with his
Hands on the bathroom
Sink
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I
Lean my head
Against the frosted
Shower stall
I see stuff
Through the glass that
I don't recognize
At all
[Chorus]
And I'm
Not
Done
And I
Won't be
Till my
Head falls
Off, though it
May not
Be a
Long way
Off
[Bridge]
I'm not
Done
Ta-
-lking yet
I'm not
Done
Ta-
-lking yet
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I
Lean my head
Against the frosted
Shower stall
I see a
Broken figure
Silhouetted
On the wall
[Chorus]
And I'm
Not
Done
And I
Won't be
Till my
Head falls
Off, though it
May not
Be a
Long way
Off, I won't be
Done
Until my
Head
Falls
Off
