Lyrics
Sunset on the freeway, your sedan rolling slow,
Map of promises in the glovebox of your soul.
Lights on the motel, a hymn for restless nights,
You offered up a remedy, told me it tastes so right.
Ask your doctor, darling, read that label first,
Before you swallow sunlight, before you quench your thirst.
There's a list of dangers written fine across the line,
Ask your doctor baby, before you take my heart this time.
There's a warning in the quiet, and a note upon the breeze,
Some cures come with conditions, some fixes bring disease.
You smiled like a sermon, whispered like a sin,
Love's a simple remedy - you wanna try to win?
Ask your doctor, darling, read that label first,
Before you swallow sunlight, before you quench your thirst.
There's a list of dangers written fine across the line,
Ask your doctor baby, before you take my heart this time.
May cause sudden longing, an appetite to roam,
Side effects include leaving with an ache for coming home.
If you mix me with regret it's a high you cant sustain,
So ask about the dosage - don't learn the hard way.
Ask your doctor, darling, read that label first,
Before you swallow sunlight, before you quench your thirst.
There's a list of dangers written fine across the line,
Ask your doctor baby, before you take my heart this time.
