You tell me, you provide,
to the sun, that seems nice
But behind my smiling features
My heart has many seizures
My life's one, living hell
And my only guiding saviour
Is the valium that I take for
Every flight that I go on
I'll be your man for once
That I will fly with you, fly with you
To wherever you want to go to night
And the magic of modern medicine means
That I will finally, finally
Be the man that I know that I am not
Three cheers for modern medicine
Three cheers for modern medicine
For the pain, take my feet,
In the immaculate bed of an emergency
For this dope they held me on
An d the magic of modern medicine
Means that I will fly with you, fly with you
To wherever you wanna go to night
And the magic of modern medicine
Means that I will finally, finally
Be the man that I know that I am not
Three cheers for modern medicine
Preaches for modern medicine
As the wheels start to ground
My head hurts, starts to pound
Immigration blows my cover
As I try to explain why I
And I feel like I'm a junkie
Now it seems quite clear to me
That airports are how they used to be
And as the guy takes hold of me
I feel like that is how you're due to
And the magic of modern medicine means that I will sleep
in a sleep in a farm pigeon till the magic wears off.
And the magic of modern medicine means that I will never be,
never be allowed in this country again.
