Dry the River - Med School

They're cutting up the bodies
In the med school basement
And I am only watching
On an academic placement
I regulate my breathing
But I can't escape the feeling
That I should not be watching today
Earlier on the stairwell
I couldn't hear your speaking
So I wandered in the hallway
With the …?
But if I knew for certain
That I'd keep my cool in person
Then I would not be watching today
Help me
Whisper it for me
Now that the time's come
I'm losing my nerve, love
Under your spell
I ain't got no reason
To hang around the library
Cause I sure as hell ain't reading
But you might sit beside me
When the streets are wet with darkness
When I walk to your apartment
Then I will only watch you change
But I will only watch you change
Help me
Whisper it for me
I'm losing my nerve, love
And the power of speech
Maybe you'll wanna take me
From the back of the classroom
From all of the geeks
And tell me your secrets
And teach me to speak
And break off your spell.
And break off your spell.
And now this is over
I promise you I'll go
Wandering tonight
And never come home
And now this over
I promise you I'll leave you
And wandering tonight
Needing you and me
Maybe you'll wanna take me
From the back of the classroom
From all of the geeks
And tell me your secrets
And teach me to speak
And break off your spell
And break off your spell
