Lord, give me some ketamine so I can feel alright
To plant my flag on distant shores and take me through the night
'Cause if I had a razor, I would cut you everywhere
Then I'd walk the whole of Earth with a thousand mile stare
All I got was awful news in every letter I was sent
And all my life my spirit child was broken and was bent
Now, if I was a billionaire, no, it wouldn't make me blue
I'd build myself a bullet train and run straight over you
Yeah, Lord gave me some ketamine so I can feel alright
To hide my true dark nature and to keep it out of sight
'Cause if I had a rifle, I'd shoot straight up in the air
And watch you fall back down to Earth with a wild-eye graveyard stare
