My Psychopharmacologist and I
The round blue ones with food but not with the oblong white ones
The white ones with the round yellow ones but not the trapezoidal green ones
Split the green ones into thirds with a tiny chisel
Use a mortar and pestal to grind…
My Psychopharmacologist and I
It’s like an odd romance
Intense and very intimate
We do our dance
My Psychopharmacologist and I
Call it a lovers’ game
He knows my deepest secrets
I know his… name!
And though he’ll never hold me
He’ll always take my calls
It’s truly like he told me
Without a little lift the ballerina falls

DR. FINE (spoken):
So, we’ll try again and eventually we’ll get it right.
DIANA (spoken):
Not a very exact science, is it?
