The Acid Queen

"The Acid Queen" is a song written by Pete Townshend and is the ninth song on the Who's rock opera album Tommy. Townshend also sings the lead vocal. The song tells the attempts of Tommy's parents to try to cure him. They leave him with an eccentric gypsy, a self-proclaimed "Acid Queen", who feeds Tommy various hallucinogenic drugs and performs sexually in an attempt to free him from isolation. Several notable singers have performed the song including Merry Clayton, Patti LaBelle, Bette Midler and Tina Turner. more »

My hypothesis was obvious
I thought that I was on to shit
But now I'm in my rocketship
It's so deprived of oxygen

I strive to be an honest man
But God she had a different plan
It's hard to see through smoke and flames
To gather hope you need to change

I rearrange the scenery
I don't know what you see in me Easily I got damn problems
In God's honesty

And honestly;
Let's stop right there
I need to get myself prepared
The exodus is coming near
For now I'll just be calm and clear

Every time I see her eyes I want to be beside her right
My penmanship gets paralyzed I tend to be so terrified
I shared her with another mind but that was to my own surprise
I never would have toed the line had I known she was scared to try

I blew my youth on cherry wine Adulthood on the booth and lines
I swear I never go outside
unless it's for the dollar signs

I'm kinda blind to those who care
I swear I don't know why they care
I swear I don't know why they care
Stop the verse let's end right there.

Up until the morning I've been mourning and I can't seem to find some sleep
Swear I'm not complaining I'm just saying that's just how it's supposed to be

Up until the morning I've been mourning and I can't seem to find some sleep
Swear I'm not complaining I'm just saying that's just how it's supposed to be.

You play me like a game of chess
It's lame how I get so depressed
This song was supposed
to be a story
Now it's just an allegory

Kinda boring all things considering what i've been through
Could have been in bars or dead from breathing but you a demon too

I'm breathing through your breathing tube
You see me on the evening news
I'm feeding for a niche excuse to sneak inside your living room or living space
I sit and wait
I really don't discriminate
I've been awake and marinate a parasite in DNA

Demons in my consciousness
They seem to want the opposite of confidence my confidence
It lies in shaky promises
I hate to be obnoxious but I need to be autonomous
My option is to make it or I'll end it like The Office did

I'm popping off the coffin lid and stopping off at conferences
I haven't bathed for days and stay awake like what the problem is
I ask them what a prophet is they say it's broken promises
That's spoken like the folk of east philosophers or songs and birds

I ponder verbs and wander earth and meditate at aquifers
I hesitate at heaven's gates I'd rather reincarnate
He asks me why I complicate I laugh and hand him documents
it says to stay at least a mile away or there'll be consequence

Okay

Up until the morning I've been mourning and I can't seem to find some sleep
Swear I'm not complaining I'm just saying that's just how it's supposed to be

Up until the morning I've been mourning and I can't seem to find some sleep
Swear I'm not complaining I'm just saying that's just how it's supposed to be

Up until the morning can't find some sleep
I'm not complaining that's just how it's supposed to be
