What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
I've had my lungs checked out with X-rays
I've smelled the hospital hallways

Someday, I'll have
A disappearing hairline
Someday, I'll wear
Pyjamas in the daytime

Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order
Well, I gave the doctor my description
I've tried to stick to my prescriptions

Someday, I'll have
A disappearing hairline
Someday, I'll wear
Pyjamas in the daytime

Whoa, afternoons
Will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I will get back
I've watched the summer evenings pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi

Someday, I'll have
A disappearing hairline
Someday, I'll wear
Pyjamas in the daytime

Whoa, afternoons
Will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

Afternoons
Will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
