Time to kill, wrote a living will

And gave it to the man in the Moon

But I'm gonna get well soon

This happy face is watching me die

Elevate me to another world

All that I can do on my own

Is leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone

Circumstance dropped by

Uninvited and demand to be fed

But I've already gone to bed

There's nothing you can see from inside

But a spirit arose and put on my clothes

And helped me, disconnecting the phone

To leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone

Time was I was a wild

Animal in a cage

First it's all a reaction

Now its all a parade

I'm waking up at a station stop

And reality's invading my brain

The cops wanna search the train

They'll take away whatever they find

But I don't have the thoughts you want

Just a memory of love I was shown

A vision that turns to stone

Leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone
