Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk

Doctor doctor!
I’m in bed
Achin’ head
Gold is lead
Choke on bread
Underfed
Gold is lead
Jesus bled
Pain is red
Are goon
Grow go
Greasy spoon
You swoon
June bloom

Music seems to help the pain
Seems to cultivate the brain
Doctor kindly tell your wife that
I’m alive – flowersthrive – realize – realize
Realize

This song was originally recorded by Pink Floyd and released on their first full-length album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.  The song was released again in a CD titled ‘Us And Them – A Delicate Saucerful Of Pink Floyd Covers’  in VISIONS Magazine #223 in October 2011.   

Coincidentally The Mars Volta would cover another song from that album, Interstellar Overdrive, during their 2006 tour in honor of Syd Barret who had recently passed away.
