She's hearing voices call her She's hearing voices warn her She just can't sleep in her bed, She just can't sleep She's falling down the stairs She's tearing out her hair She's screaming my name, in the night To keep her warm She got a red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Milk of amnesia Hey hey hey hey C'mon I know that you want it There's nothing, nothing to shout about So jump, jump back in She got a red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill She got a red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Milk of amnesia She's scared of the blacks and she's scared of the Jews She is always out there, she is yesterday's news She screams out my name in the dead of the night She is leaving my room, she is crying on her side Walking on eggshells, walking on glass, Burnt by the mirror, burnt the light Feeling rejection I'm going to burn down your house Tearing down posters I was never alive
