COUNTING CROWS - A Little Discipline lyrics

rate me

This time is better than last time

I feel better today

A little discipline can lock you up inside

This time I think you shed a little light

I feel better today

A little discipline can bring you down sometimes

This time I got some other ideas

But I don't want them to hear

No, I don't want them to hear

And it may not seem like a sensible scheme

But I think I'd really like to dive

into the pit of my desire or a bed of fire tonight

"Oh no, this is the last time,

honey" she whispers in my ear

But every time I look at her she disappears

Ahh, this time is better than last time

I feel better today

And the music can plays and the elevator sways

But I don't really feel like dancing

Because elevator dreams never really have much of a beat

She says, "Oh no, this is the last time,

honey, we just wanna calm you down.

You have nothing to fear,

we will get you out of here."

But every time I look at her she disappears

Oh, this time is better than last time

I feel better today

A little discipline can twist you inside out

This time I think you busted the bubble

And I feel much better today

A little discipline can mess you up inside

This time I feel I need a little lift

And I feel like I am a razor

And I feel like I am a razor

And the TV pans and the elephants dance

And the nurse looks like she's angry

So the pills slide down in the septic town tonight

She says "Bad boy, just like the last time,

honey" and bites me on the ear

But when I turn to look at her she disappears

Oh, this time I think you shed a little light

I feel much better today

And the elevator dream with the hobby horse scream

I feel like I'm going' home

But the nurse says "Son, you're going nowhere tonight"

She says "Oh no, this is the last time

sonny, we're gonna have to tie you down

'cause you gotta see clear to be getting out of here"

But then every time I look at her she disappears

Oh, this time I feel a little bit...

But I feel better today

A little discipline can take you out sometime

This time, I feel I might be better

I feel much, much better today

A little discipline can turn you inside out

This time I think you shed a little light

I feel better today

A little discipline can fuck you up inside

This time I feel a little foggy

A little discipline can weigh you down sometimes

I'm dreaming, underground

A little discipline can suffocate your mind

This time, I'm flying home

A little discipline can drive you into the ground

This time I think you shed a little light

I feel much better today

A little discipline can lock you up inside

A little discipline can lock you up
