I Took A Pill
-Chris Ramey

I took a pill and now I can't
Remember your name
The prescription that the doctor wrote was
Supposed to make me sane
But now I'm faced with a huge list
Of side effects and pains I wish
I'd never started playing with
The chemistry in my brain

The pills that he gave me
Had many side effects
Fever, chills, coughing, aching throat
Longness and shortness of breath
Palpitations, constipation
Ophelia complex
Diarrhea, incontinence
Risk of sudden death

Balance problems, dizziness
Headaches and feeling down
Swollen blistered peeling skin
Vomit like coffee grounds
Feeling sleepy, insomnia
Confusion, cotton mouth
Hallucinations, amputations
And complications down south

Fatty pad between the shoulders
Changes in eyesight
Thick abnormal sweating
Leg tremblings in the night
Unexplained bruising and bleeding
Lack of appetite
Swelling in the arms and legs
Aversion to bright light

Face droopiness on one side
Ringing in the ears
Four hour long painful erections
Spurting bloody tears
Feeling faint, passing out
A heightened sense of fear
All of this was worth it
To forget your name my dear

Don't take it if you're allergic to it
How do I find out?
Don't operate heavy equipment
You'll be drowsy beyond doubt
That bump's probably malignant
Is this gangrene or gout?
The prescription that the doctor wrote was
Supposed to help me out


I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a
I took a pill and now your name
Is lost in a blackout
