"Pills"

Words & Music by New York Dolls

As I was lyin' in a hospital bed
A rock & roll nurse went into my head.
She says, hold your arm, stick out your tongue.
I got some pills, I'm gonna give you some.

She went into my head, into my head.
A rock & roll nurse went into my head.
Into my head, into my head.
While I was lyin' on a hospital bed.

A little pill for my legs, but that didn't ache.
I tried some pills for my heart, but a little too late.
Got some pills for my love, to put me at ease.
That's when a rock & roll nurse shook me down to my knees.

She went into my head, into my head.
A rock & roll nurse went into my head.
Into my head, into my head.
While I was lyin' on a hospital bed.

Nursey, Nursey, I don't see.
Well, I don't understand what you're doin' to me.
Said you give me the pills, then you give me the shot.
Got me wonderin' what is worse I got.

Doctor, doctor, run here and see.
I don't think the job the nurse is givin' me.
Give me the shots, give me the pills.
Got me takin' this junk, against my will.

She went into my head, into my head.
A rock & roll nurse went into my head.
Into my head, into my head.
While I was lyin' on a hospital bed.
