Permanent jet lag Please take me back, (please take me back) Please take me back I'm a stray dog sick Please let me in, (please let me in) The mad key's tripping Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings Give me a pen Call me Mr. Benzedrine But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam Call me Mr. Benzedrine But don't let the doctor Don't let the doctor in It feels like fourteen carats but no clarity When I look at the man who would be king The man who would be king Goes to the desert The same war his dad rehearsed Came back with flags on coffins and said "We won, oh we won" Permanent jet lag Please take me back, (please take me back) Please take me back, ooh I'm a stray dog sick Please let me in, (please let me in) The mad key's tripping Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings Give me a pen Call me Mr. Benzedrine But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam Call me Mr. Benzedrine But don't let the doctor Don't let the doctor in Ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine My, my, my, benzedrine Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine ah Ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine My, my, my benzedrine Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine, ah Only one book really matters The rest of the proof is on the television Call me Mr. Benzedrine But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam Call me Mr. Benzedrine But don't let the doctor Don't let the doctor in, oh, oh, ooh Have you ever wanted to disappear?
