Midnight in your love's insititution
Hungry as a hawk in my bed
Sleeping now would be the only solution
Nurse come shaking pills
Out of my head

I go walking in your love's institution
Pass the candles and the skeletons and the loons
I see these things but I can't come to no conclusion
Second lane for their corridors and their carpeted rooms

This man comes up to me and says:
"Ah, do you wanna sniff some glue?"
I say: "I have some things to do
I got some people to see
Got some things to attend to"

He says: "If you don't wanna sniff some glue
- Then, then you're not you, and I don't know who I'm talkin' to"
I say: "Get out of here!"
"I gotta go see, ah, I gotta go see you-know-who"
He shouts: "I warned you, many times, about the doctor!"
- "He conspires with the insects and the rain
He keeps a nurse in the closet
And now and then he brings her out and then he fucks her"
I said: "I'm going down to see the doctor anyway"
And then I turned around and I walked down the gate

Next thing I see is two girls
With their left hands in a sling
They start waving at me
But I have no idea, so they come walking up to me
I say: "Do I know you? What do you want?"
They say, they say: "Nothing"

Guy at the record store said:
"Go hang out at the hospital
'Cause this here at the hospital is the place to be!"
I say: "Really," they say "Yeah,"
I say "Really, really I gotta go see the doctor"

When I get there they say
The doctor has opened practice in the Caribbean sea
I say; "What good is a hospital if
There's no electric light and there's no doctor?"
Girl at the front desk says
"Bother someone else with that, bother someone else, not me"

Midnight in love's institution
Hungry as a hawk in my bed
Going to sleep now
That would be a good solution
Nurse comes shaking pills out of my head
Nurse comes shaking pills out of my head
My head
In your love's institution
Hungry as a hawk in my bed
