Receta

Give me a Tylenol for body pain
And a Diazepam to forget
A gallon of saline is perfect
And a Lexotan to fly

Give me a thousand Valium to be dead
And not to remember
A Tagamet for the uncertain
And a Prozac to exorcise

That ghost of yours that is a hepatitis C
That not even a transplant can cure
Give me a Dormicum to deprive myself
And a Vivarin to wake up

I know I don't have a prescription
It's pure self-medication
But there's no hermit doctor
To cure such a rare affliction

Add a couple of laxatives there
To expel this illusion
That you are what you were before
And my heart feels better

And I almost forgot a Pepto Bismol
For that indigestion.

Excuse the analogy
I seek a cure for my affliction
Psychology couldn't
Revive my heart

And give me a Demerol so it doesn't hurt
And Cortisone for the swelling
That this is worse than a toothache
And doesn't understand reason

They say morphine
Is very good for forgetting
Although it would be better to sleep
Because Ativan no longer works
And aspirin makes me sick

I know I don't have a prescription
It's pure self-medication
But there's no hermit doctor
To cure such a rare affliction

Add a couple of laxatives there
To expel this illusion
That you are what you were before
And my heart feels better

And I almost forgot a Pepto Bismol
For that indigestion.

A prescription to forget
A vaccine against crying
I swear to you I have the prescription
It got stuck in a drawer

A prescription to forget
A vaccine against crying
Give me an ointment for the heart
And a syrup for the soul.

A prescription to forget
A vaccine against crying
That's why I search in the pharmacy
For the remedy to forget

A prescription to forget
A vaccine against crying
And if this prescription helps at all
Send a copy to her
