Song Lyrics

"Jung and the Restless"

by Steve Taylor
Album: I Predict 1990

In the corner was the doctor, he said, "How may I assist'"
She said, "Doctor, give me something; I divorced my analyst,"
He said, "Chemicals won't help yet, (I'm a doctor, not a musician) let's both try some word association,"
He said, "Love,"
She said, "You bet,"
Rushed from the fire to the frying pan,
Entrust your soul to the shrinking man.

Jung and the restless, pleasant dreams,
Gotham's got religion,
Fifty minutes from the corner of your mind to the centre of a new redemption,
Jung and the restless, primal screams,
Ain't showbiz bewitching'
First came stats, pulling habits out of rats,
Now they may need more attention.

She said, "What can I believe in'"
He said, "Don't believe, just be,"
She said, "You've gotta give me one good reason to live,"
He said, "Hmm...I gotta be me,"
Served with smiles and a noble intent; I think this waiter's got a fake accent.

Jung and the restless, pleasant dreams,
Gotham's got religion,
Fifty minutes from the corner of your mind to the centre of the new redemption,
Jung and the restless, primal screams,
Ain't showbiz bewitching'
First came stats, pulling habits out of rats,
Now they may need more attention.

- "So tell me about this latest dream"
"I was in a mental ward for a little shock treatment, when a sudden power surge zapped me with two thousand volts. Then I floated down a tunnel to a shining man in white, and when I could finally make it out his face it was...it was you, doctor."
- "So, what's the problem'"

Jung and the restless, pleasant dreams,
Gotham's got religion,
Fifty minutes from the corner of your mind to the centre of the new redemption,
Jung and the restless, primal screams,
Ain't showbiz bewitching'
First came stats, pulling habits out of rats,
Now they may need more attention.

Pleasant dreams.
