What a wonderful hesitation
Who would bear to feel sorry for me
Dropped another pill just to calm me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep.

There I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
And I might be a mess but I sure can survive.

Find myself awake counting sad days
1 2 3 that's too many for me
Dropped another pill just to find me
Reached for my hand but it was already there.

Then I started believin'
That I fell out of a tiny raindrop
That lost its way when it decided to roam
Chasing me was a hungry dweller
But I had escaped it by pretending to die.

Come follow me, you won't expect the illusion
You'll see, it's my imagination
Hand me your eyes
I will put them in front of mine
You'll see a little better
You'll see a little better.

What a wonderful destination
Where I am now, I can no longer see
Dropped another pill just to kill me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep.

There I was, and there I was, and there I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I sure can survive
But I had escaped it by pretending to die.
