lyrics

my friend clio doesn’t care if its placebo
if you open up her mind
really let the blood flow
she talks in crystals always sitting down to give ya unsolicited advice
tarot cards and rainbows

and my friend wheeler
he’s been talking to a healer
ever since his wife left home
and now when i visit
he speaks in dialects of mystics ‘bout the prospects of my soul
says he knows more than i’ll ever know
mmmmm
if you say so

‘cause i don’t care how i get there darling
name the cure and i’ll come running
i don’t care how i get there darling
say the words with enough conviction
‘cause i don’t care how i get there
as long as i arrive

and i met a surgeon said he’d rather work on patients
who believe they will survive
grateful for all they got
and just the same the perfect medicine won’t save you
if you’re confident you’ll die
if you made your mind up

‘cause i was taking sugar pills
and i didn’t even know it
‘til the doctor finally told me
he said i had to prove you didn’t need those drugs at all
and someday soon you’ll thank me
he said you’ll thank me for lying
and i thanked him for lying
what a thought
thanked him for lying
for lying
for lying

‘cause i don’t care how i get there darling
name the cure and i’ll come running
i don’t care how i get there darling
say the words with enough conviction
i don’t care, i don’t care
i don’t care how i get there
i don’t care how i get there as long as i arrive
