DOCTOR LOPEZ

Doctor Lopez can you cure this complaint
It?s just about here it?s a deep deep ache
What is this feeling and why did it begin
Feels like my heart but much further within
The studious crinkles in your brow your earnestness
Betraying a puzzled search for a diagnosis
And have you got something in all your learning
For a heart on fire with a terrible yearning

Doctor Lopez I feel raw I feel rough
Feels like a hunger but I?m eating enough
I have been living clean I gave up the smokes
Oh can you please come forth with an antidote
Doctor I?ve always placed such faith in you up to now
The spidery scrawling as you fill prescriptions out
If there?s a name for my condition let me know
For the emptiness I feel inside my soul

Doctor Lopez I was once reassured
For every problem found there must be a cure
I?d start to feel well for just seeing you there
All and wise knowing in your brown leather chair
Doctor I knew that what afflictions ailed me
You and your medicine you wouldn?t fail me
The surrogate confessional priestly air
With the rows books the knowledge in your care

Oh Doctor Lopez can you give my poor brain
Some pills to drive these nagging questions away
To think these thoughts I think I know must be wrong
They don?t let up asking for explanations
They say why am I here and where do we belong
Where are we going to and what?s the reason to carry on
Doctor your starting to look more lost than feel myself
Is there anything, Doctor, I can do to help
