Lyrics

TITLE:
Dr. Thompson

VERSE:
Sitting up in bed, 3 am, Wide awake, think of everything I haven't done today
Writing up a list, minding my own business and the phone rings only once.
Star 69, I dial on my telephone
A gentleman picks up and tells me I am not alone
Did I lock the doors? The windows? How 'bout the garage?
I really need some help, there's just one man who can help it's
CHORUS:
Dr. Thompson
Calling Dr. Thompson

VERSE:
The meth lab's all set up, got my guns all packed in shopping bags, the front yard is suburban middle-class
If the cops show up I'll just say that I'm a caterer, these are only chafing dishes
A knock on the door, I have no friends, no family
Well who could it be? Who's questioning my lifestyle choice?
I'll never make it out, place a shopping bag to my head
My finger's on the trigger
There's just one man who can help it's

CHORUS
Dr. Thompson
Calling Dr, Thompson

VERSE:
Walking through the city, got my money in my wallet on a chain handcuffed to my belt
Got some folding money in my shoe, don't carry change, 'cause strangers hear it jingling
Waiting for a train, these folks are out to get me, Got to show that I belong
But the people here won't let me
Don't stand too close to the edge 'cause they'll shove you right onto the track
I really need some help, there's just one man who can help it's

CHORUS:
Dr. Thompson
Calling Dr. Thompson
Dr. Thompson
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
