Placebo Effect Lyrics[]

You dip your hands into my flesh

And say you won't reveal a scar

I must have faith in this procedure

It's a miracle - It's a wonder


A thousand hidden needles

In a thousand covered nerves

Stick pins in my receptacles

Look to your Voodoo doll - your mojo


Staying alive at five

For you to cure my ailments

Another soul is saved

With your bogus medications


Which colour shall we have today?

Depends on how I feel you say

Consult your research on the media

See blue will calm my hysteria


Staying alive at five

For you to cure my ailments

Another soul is saved

With your bogus medications

Staying alive at five

With your empty containers

Another corpse ornaments your waiting room

A placebo effect reversed


Will you ever regret--the placebo effect

Can you ever forget--the placebo effect
