Tekst piosenki

Naturally I heard the doctor say

Cut the cord and give the child away

So you had him over for dinner

Carving beans with a butcher knife


I'm back to normal

(He's going over her)

I'm back to normal

(With his thermometer)

I'm back to normal

(She's getting normal)

I'm back to normal now

Back to normal

Back to normal

Back to normal now


You tell him to try and kiss away

All those little things we could not say

And he's got you under that pillow

Well I left instructions for you


I'm back to normal

(I see ya live for hope)

I'm back to normal

(Get out your microscope)

I'm back to normal

(You got enough rope)

I'm back to normal now

Back to normal

Back to normal

Back to normal now


He thinks he's all you ever wanted

He's turning off the lights now

Does he know your bed is haunted?


Who's that in the shadows on the wall?

Who's that with the camera in the hall?

You got doctor's orders

I got all the pictures I need


I'm back to normal

(I sit alone at night)

I'm back to normal

(In the projected light)

I'm back to normal

(It's such an insight)

I'm back to normal now

Back to normal

Back to normal

Back to normal

I'm back to normal now

Back to normal (12 x)
