John Sebastian
Painkiller
[Verse 1]
Well that song is meant for cutting
And the sea is meant to drown
We're not talking where you want to go
We're talking where you're bound
Not trying to sort them out
If they're true
The promises I have for you

[Chorus 1]
This painkiller does everything
It even calls your name
This painkiller does everything
But kill the pain

[Verse 2]
Well I've got this painkiller
It's supposed to do me good
But I swear it wouldn't help me
To feel better if it could
The dogs are standing at attention
But she's not coming
I forgot to mention

[Chorus 2]
This painkiller does everything
It's got no shame
This painkiller does everything
But kill the pain
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
This painkiller does everything
Except for what it claims
This painkiller does everything
But kill the pain

[Chorus 4]
Hey painkiller don't hurt me
While you're tugging on this chain
Just sing on through the darkness
Just sing on through the rain

[Outro]
This painkiller does everything
But kill the pain
