What if the doctor has ordered,
the doctors order for me?

what if the deep of this
darkness is the
madness of
melancholy.

Earthquakes in California and
there's
six billion counting on down,
what if the hour glass cracks wide open
what if we can't swim and drown
(in religion)
.
Drones in the da
nang valley
lead in the eyes of men
what if the war rolls over Beethoven
where is the music
then
there's
floods on the Riviera,
drought up
in
Bangladesh,
Pompei's just moved to Whitehall
and
we're all in the flamin' mesh,
destroy me
just what the doctor has ordered,
ordered and just for me
is this a touch of the winter blues
or the madness of
melancholy,
holy jesus I'm fed up with praying
I'm staying away from the mass, I am
heading out into the desert which one
day will burnt and turned
into clear glass.

Just whose doctor ordered this?
