Text: Ganggajang. Pill For The Pain.

( Mark Callaghan)

A wholesome love is what she finds
Everywhere it plays on her mind
She sees it at the movies up on the screen
Doesn't understand that it's not what it seems
Vicariously living from day to day
She's in the ether and there's no escape
She goes out walking every night
Bathed in the glow of the neon lights

She knows deep down that it's not enough
But she wants what she sees all the same
Nothing she does seems to shake that mood
So she just takes a pill for the pain
She just takes a pill for the pain

A safe little fix is what she gets
Every night from her TV set
Her single bedroom
is filled with magazines

You know the kind that always
feature the queen
She knows everything about their lives
Who's doing who and who is who's wife
And one day soon
all her dreams will come true
Until then she'll just have to make do

She knows deep down that it's not enough
But she wants what she sees all the same
Nothing she does seems to shake that mood
So she just takes a pill for the pain
She just takes a pill for the pain
Just a little bald pill for the pain yeah
A little bald pill for the pain
