The Cat Empire - One Four Five lyrics

rate me

Listen doctor I have pain

That grows inside myself

Shelf me please

I just can't ease the pain

I need some drugs to help

Ah pollution fills my lungs

And convolution fills my mind

Ah my legs do ache

I contemplate

That living's less than fine

My spine does tingle

When I think of being

Freed from this curse

But what is worse I feel

Life is a bubble

Blown until it's burst

Oh doctor I am desperate

To get rid of this feeling

Oh doctor I am desperate

For some good soul healing

The doctor turned and gave a grin

And reached into his bag

But instead of an injection

Got a record with a tag

That said listen to this daily

With hip shaking and such things

Then he puts the record in

Grabs a mic and starts to sing

You need some

One four five

To make you high to make you high

To make you high to make you high

When heaven falling from the sky

To make you high to make you high

Doctor I am feeling better

What was that you sang

Did you write it or recite it

Or just steal it from a band

Ah my bones are feeling stronger

And my spirit's feeling fresh

Ah that dose of 145 has put the life

Back in my breath

'yes yes yes' the doctor said

Then he sat me down and say

'young man don't think I wrote

These chords they're written in

Your brain'

And when you hear them

There's a shakedown that begins within

The mind

Cos these three chords make people

Feeling better all the time ah

They keep repeating

Like a scratch on a cd

But it's quality cos these three harmonies

Breed positivity

Protecting against insanity

Of modern insecurities

Believe me when I tell you

All you need is to be hearing all that

One four five

To make you high to make you high

To make you high to make you high

When they said what and you said why

To make you high to make you high

The doctor turned and gave a grin

And reached into his bag

But instead of an injection

Got a record with a tag

That said listen to this daily

With hip shaking and such things

Then he puts the record in

Grabs a mic and starts to sing

You need some

One four five

To make you high to make you high

When you could not count to pi

When you're told you can't fly

To make you high to make you high

Times like these you need some

One four five .... hhhuuummnn
