Old green fairy, what you’ve done to me

I see Lucy in the sky telling me I’m high

I went out for some milk three days ago

I met Dalм in the street, he knocked me off my feet

Now I start to see that all’s not well

There’s policemen in my bed telling me I’m dead

If only I could show them what I’ve seen

I’ll have to take you down below where insects run the show

Sound and vision turning inside out

The lines make you look older then you’re gone



And everyday I got someone bringing me down

I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round

How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?

So just send me down the river



The neighbours say that I need locking up

Well it wouldn’t be a first to want me in a hurse

No one sleeps for I am still awake

Pass me over La Fée Verte, I’ll give you all a scare

Dogs in handbags, everyone’s a star

You look behind your eyelids then you’re gone



And everyday I got someone bringing me down

I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round

How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?

So just send me down the river

I’m not gonna wait for tomorrow

I just look back and wait for a sign

And I’m not gonna celebrate my freedom

So just send me down the river

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na

And everyday I got someone bringing me down

I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round

How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?

So just send me down the river
