Chloroform lyrics - Ani Difranco

I feel like, if you could see me here

You would have some sort of empathy

But I don't think that that can happen, dear

Now that you've lost the eyes to see

Now that your fever's pulled you down

Into a deep hallucination

Demons and monsters all around

The perfect fix for your fixation

I don't know what you want from me

I kneel by your bedside on my knee

I hold a cold compress to your brow

And still this is all my fault somehow

Somehow

Somehow

I've sterilized all the instruments

I've washed my hands and uniform

I've got lots of experience

I've got lots of chloroform

C'mon sweetheart just lie down

Yes, this is going to hurt at first

But, I promise you, staying in this trance

Is going to hurt you even worse

I don't know what you want from me

I kneel by your bedside on my knee

I hold a cold compress to your brow

And still this is all my fault somehow

Somehow

Somehowi feel like, if you could see me here

You would have some sort of empathy

But I don't think that that can happen, dear

Now that you've lost the eyes to see

Now that your fever's pulled you down

Into a deep hallucination

Demons and monsters all around

The perfect fix for your fixation

I don't know what you want from me

I kneel by your bedside on my knee

I hold a cold compress to your brow

And still this is all my fault somehow

Somehow

Somehow

I've sterilized all the instruments

I've washed my hands and uniform

I've got lots of experience

I've got lots of chloroform

C'mon sweetheart just lie down

Yes, this is going to hurt at first

But, I promise you, staying in this trance

Is going to hurt you even worse

I don't know what you want from me

I kneel by your bedside on my knee

I hold a cold compress to your brow

And still this is all my fault somehow

Somehow

Somehow
