Lyrics Turned Off - Slow Gherkin

Turned Off

Well I thought I had it figured out
Thought that I could go out alone
But you’ve proven me wrong
You came up to me sweetly
Then went behind my back and did
The opposite of turning me on
Now I’m sitting in the corner
I’m trying to remember
But my memory’s a little bit vague
The ghost of evenings past
Is walking slowly toward me
I’ve got to fight it, fight it off like the plague
If I talk, they’ll accuse me of hypocrisy
Because I don’t even know what you did to me
You left me
Without a leg to stand on
Jury pronounced you innocent
You left me
Without a leg to stand on
Knocked me off my feet, dropped me to my knees
Was there warfare of desire
And vile plots conspired
And drunken cycles of Doublethink?
Was there just a trace of silt
In the bottom of my glass
Did somebody put something in my drink?
I’m a real human being
Could have sworn I was free
Liberated by the simple word «no»
But now you’ve got your white little pills
And they’re gonna keep
My legs open and mouth closed
Do I go or just keep it all inside?
You left a hole and it’s a mile wide
You left me
Without a leg to stand on
Jury pronounced you innocent
You left me
Without a leg to stand on
Knocked me off my feet, dropped me to my knees
I want to, I want to know
I want to, I want to know
Want to know, did you foster a new disease?
Want to know, did you infect me with pregnancy?
Now I’m thinking that it’s coming more clear to me
Now I know, now I know, you raped me.
You left me
Without a leg to stand on
Jury pronounced you innocent
You left me
Without a leg to stand on
Knocked me off my feet, dropped me to my…
TURNED OFF!
TURNED OFF!
TURNED OFF!
