Pills lyrics

While I was laying in a hospital bed

A rock 'n' roll nurse went through my head

She says, 'Hold out your arm and stick out your tongue

I got some pills, boy, I'm gonna give you one'

She went through my head, through my head

Through my head, through my head

She went through my head, through my head

While I was layin' in a hospital bed

She gave me pills for my toes

And they didn't ache

She gave me pills for my love

But a little too late

She gave me pills for my heart

To put me at ease

The rock 'n' roll nurse

Shook me dead to my knees

She went through my head, through my head

Through my head, through my head

She went through my head, through my head

While I was layin' in a hospital bed

Nurses, nurses, can't you see

I don't dig this jive you givin' me?

You give me your pill, you give me your shot

You got me wonderin' what, what have I got?

She went through my head, through my head

Through my head, through my head,

Through my head, she went through my head

While I was layin' in a hospital bed

Doctor, doctor, run here 'n' see

I don't dig this jive this nurse givin' me

She gimme a shot, she gimme yo' pills

I'm takin' this junk a'gin my will

She went through my head, through my head

Through my head, through my head

He went through my head, through my head

While I was layin' in a hospital bed
