LYRICS:
Lying on the Couch 2012 AD
Lying on the couch last week
waiting for Jacques Lacan to speak
I drifted off and reappeared
in dreams of lost TV stations
In
the Avengers and Doctor Who
I was happy then and so were you
before I saw my failing mind
walk out the door forever
Episode
ten was pretty hot
and nobody was ever shot
I told him everything was fine
and he said not to bother
Lying on the couch this week
wishing I could go to sleep
or have a drink with an old time friend
but I`m drifting off into the future
I`m drifting off into the future
All
those shows I used to watch
before I lost my mind and much
more besides until I could
time travel to the future
