The doctor is dead

Spend your stolen pennies
on some desert farm
count your kites in heaven
lest you come to harm

every open window
has a painted face
makes you think and long for
quite a diff'rent place

      the doctor is dead
      he saw the world exploding
      in and round his head
      now we'll drink to the morning
      'cause the doctor is dead

Read it in the paper
see it on the news
do it every day and
tell me you'll be true

lend your lease on life to
some forsaken clown
drink till your forget him
let your long hair down

       refr.

                   all his prescriptions
                   went to his head
                   no more prescriptions
                   the doctor is dead
