Tess Stevens - Patient 139 Lyrics

Patient one-three-nine
Paging one-three-nine
Your medication is ready

Patient one-three-nine
Sits in four-four time
Craving peace of mind
And a pen

Patient one-three-nine
Sign on the dotted line
Stop wasting your life
And repent

Do you want to call your mom
Or just be still like an atom bomb

Trust the system
Now or never
Take your pills
Forget you're clever

All the halls are filled with ghosts
And voices screaming out the windows
I need a pen to write it down (To write it down)

All the thoughts creep in my mind
The words, the blood, now stop the headlines

Trust the system
Now or never
I just wanted to be myself again

Patient one-three-nine
She's worried all the time
She's lost her peace of mind
But she's got her pen

Patient one-three-nine
Kicked the coke and the red wine
She's having so much fun
At least she can pretend

Do you want to call your dad
And reminisce on the life he had

Trust the doctors
Never wander
Take your pills
Or you're a goner

All the halls are filled with ghosts
And voices screaming out the windows
I've got a pen to write it down (To write it down)

All the thoughts creep in my mind
The words, the blood, the stupid headlines

Trust the system
Now or never
I just wanted to be myself again
Again oh

All the halls are filled with ghosts
And voices screaming out the windows
They took my pen I can't write it down

They try to fix my broken brain
But they don't know it's still the same

Trust the doctors
Not the system
I just wanted to be myself again
Again

I'm paging Patient one-three-nine (Am I the ghost they're talking about)
Are you alone or are you fine
I'm paging Patient one-three-nine (Am I the ghost they're talking about)
Just take the Xanny it'll change your life
I'm paging Patient one-three-nine (Am I the ghost they're talking about)
Ativan on high
I'm paging Patient one-three-nine (Am I the ghost they're talking about)
Just be alone and you'll do fine
