Ode to Joy

Sweet Anesthesia
sung to "Sad Lisa" by Cat Stevens

I hide my face and cry in your shirt.
I must be hurt very badly.
Show me what can make me happy?
You flex your cane, not holding back.
You’re holding back, don’t you love me?
‘Cause you know that’s how you show me.

Anesthesia, sweet anesthesia.

My eyes like windows, trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper.
Though the cane wants to relieve me.
You hold me tight, from wrist to wrist.
Lost in subspace, I can’t hear you.
Though I see the stripes written by you.

Anesthesia, sweet anesthesia.

I kneel on a pillow at your feet.
There is no more, you now own me.
And will always do what you ask me.
You’ve done what you can to show me my ways.
And maybe one day I can thank you.
Though you know, because I love you.

Anesthesia, sweet anesthesia.

    1. Thank you, Emen... it's nice to hear from you, too. I've enjoyed other blogger's parodies... including yours of "Chicago," so consider me inspired.
