I went to see the doctor
he was full of doom and gloom
he said I need to see the doctor
that is in another room
So I went back to New York City
because it's been so many years
and I looked up at all the buildings
and my eyes just filled with tears
Then I headed out to Vegas
just to see what I could do
but it was way too much money
so I got on a plane and I flew
Then I fell into the ocean
and ended up in Kalamazoo
so I drove to Carolina
and I listened to Dr Wu
And then I went back to the doctor
and he said he didn't know
and I said it didn't matter
so he told me all was well
So I called up the preacher
and I told him all is lost
he told me not to worry
then he tallied up his cost
Then I left for Mississippi
but she was there no more
so I went to California
with the cold and rocky shore
So I found a new profession
and I bought a brand new car
then I felt like drinking *****
with some tonic at the bar
And then I walked into the nighttime
and I swam from shore to shore
until my body couldn't take it
and then I did it some more
So I went back to see the doctor
and he asked me where I'd been
I said I walked across the nation
and it was all because of him
Then I felt like I was falling
and that was when he shut the door
he told me everything was broken
and that he could do no more
So I went to find another doctor
just to see what he would say
and he told me I was dreaming
but I didn't have to pay
Now I felt like God was calling
so I looked up in the sky
and he told me not to worry
but he didn't tell me why
So I went back to Indiana
and I found all of my friends
and I gathered all my family
and I said this is the end
