Patient |
| A system in the making |
| Self-healing for the blind |
| Sitting in the waiting-room |
| Of the patient mind; |
| Raging at the illness |
| When the rage may be its cause |
| The purpose of the will is lost |
| In the search for an escape clause |
| In the search for an escape clause |
| Fatal convalescence |
| The wound becomes a weal; |
| The poison is in essence just |
| The virus of the real |
| But there’s sympathetic healing |
| The power of the soul bandages |
| Concealing all that we can’t control |
| All that we can’t control |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| A system in the making |
| Self-healing for the blind |
| Sitting in the waiting-room |
| Of the patient mind… |
| But there isn’t any answer |
| The consciousness can quote |
| When the loaded dice of chance are there |
| Rattling in the throat |
| Rattling in the throat |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| Waiting for the doctor to come |
| You put your faith in others; |
| The fear could not be worse |
| But Nature’s not your mother now |
| Just your suckling nurse |
| There isn’t any doctor |
| There isn’t any cure… |
| That might come as a shock to you |
| But can you really be so sure? |
| Can you really be so sure? |
| Can you really be sure? |
