Turned Off - Slow Gherkin

Well I thought I had it figured out

Thought that I could go out alone

But you’ve proven me wrong

You came up to me sweetly

Then went behind my back and did

The opposite of turning me on

Now I’m sitting in the corner

I’m trying to remember

But my memory’s a little bit vague

The ghost of evenings past

Is walking slowly toward me

I’ve got to fight it, fight it off like the plague

If I talk, they’ll accuse me of hypocrisy

Because I don’t even know what you did to me

You left me

Without a leg to stand on

Jury pronounced you innocent

You left me

Without a leg to stand on

Knocked me off my feet, dropped me to my knees

Was there warfare of desire

And vile plots conspired

And drunken cycles of Doublethink?

Was there just a trace of silt

In the bottom of my glass

Did somebody put something in my drink?

I’m a real human being

Could have sworn I was free

Liberated by the simple word «no»

But now you’ve got your white little pills

And they’re gonna keep

My legs open and mouth closed

Do I go or just keep it all inside?

You left a hole and it’s a mile wide

You left me

Without a leg to stand on

Jury pronounced you innocent

You left me

Without a leg to stand on

Knocked me off my feet, dropped me to my knees

I want to, I want to know

I want to, I want to know

Want to know, did you foster a new disease?

Want to know, did you infect me with pregnancy?

Now I’m thinking that it’s coming more clear to me

Now I know, now I know, you raped me.

You left me

Without a leg to stand on

Jury pronounced you innocent

You left me

Without a leg to stand on

Knocked me off my feet, dropped me to my…

TURNED OFF!

TURNED OFF!

TURNED OFF!
