Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember me, I used to be
The corpse you were dissecting
What paths have you got fingers in?
What shrines are you erecting?
How am I? Well, I survived
The jams you got me into
There's things I still don't understand
Or maybe it's a sin to love again too
[Chorus]
It dawns on me that you're not quite well
You're not quite compos mentis
I don't want this job no more
The sorcerer's apprentice
I'll walk on hot coals, eat all day
Or drill me deep at the dentist
Torture me but I just can't be
The sorcerer's apprentice
Some happy day I'll be far away
[Verse 2]
We were all tied up in knots
You thought you could unravel
What twisted truth is in your head?
What is the road you travel?
Old Federico knew you well, the circus freak ringmaster
Who let us all a merry dance to the threshold of disaster
And peppered over all the cracks with a giant stick and plaster, the ringmaster
[Chorus]
It dawns on me that you're not quite well
You're not quite compos mentis
I don't want this job no more
The sorcerer's apprentice
I'll walk on hot coals, eat all day
Or drill me deep at the dentist
Torture me but I just can't be
The sorcerer's apprentice
Some happy day I'll be far away
[Instrumental]
Well, I'll walk on hot coals, eat all day
Or drill me deep at the dentist
Torture me but I just can't be
The sorcerer's apprentice
Some happy day I'll be far away
