lyrics

Dear Serotonin,
I think I'd like to be something grim and unseemly
Something you wouldn't know much about

Norepinephrine's a neural protection
Against horror injections of a schizoid selection
Oh god, I need a doctor
Oh doctor, I need god

Serotonin, I have nothing left to say
Serotonin, I have nothing left to feel
Serotonin, don't you leave me alone
Serotonin, I thought we had a deal

Said Serotonin, quote:
I'd like to find a lecherous means for reuptake
My mission is to disprove, my mission is to doubt

Norepinephrine won't prevent your rejection
I've a horrid affection for depressive selection
Oh god, I need a doctor
Oh doctor, I need god

Serotonin, I have nothing left to say
Serotonin, I have nothing left to feel
Serotonin, don't you leave me all alone
Serotonin, I thought we had a deal

There's a rapture in the lowest
A freedom so appealing
So perversely romantic
In the absence of feeling
