Lyrics

There was blood where he once had eyes
In the fog at the doctor's door
"Could you not go anywhere else?
My wife and sons are asleep."
And the doctor did what he could
And he gave him love on the floor
He was cured and was given sight
And deprived of the will to die
And he soon forgot his old friends
For he needed purpose now
The cathedral was big and black
'Twas the doctor who brought him here
"And on Sundays you will come
With your suit and wife and son."
God bless the doctor's trade
And the lovely quagmire he made
They have built a race who can't read
And who sleep much like the sun
