Lyrics
Floundering
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
First she sees her hypnotist
When she rushes to her psychiatrist
She sees her acupuncturist
She's got to got to get fixed
Then she sees her scientologist
Gets fed by her nutritionist
She can not seem to resist
Seeking cosmic consciousness
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
She swears by Jack La Lanne
Then she throws the I Ching again
She searches in the Himalayas
For someone to ease the pain
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
She's looking for a cure
She does not know exactly what for
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
She's into political activism
Reading up on Tibetan Buddism
Anna Freud's analysed her dreams
And she's hoarse from primal screams
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
