lyrics

Mary comes to work at 8am
she's kind of clumsy
but she's nice
nice
nice
nice
she tapes me up real crooked
and she asks me if i'd like a cup of ice
ice
ice
she has a kitty at home
and a rescue dog named Pete
her free time's full of episodes of
law and order on repeat

she's a lot like you
she's a lot like me
the only difference is
she has a clearer picture
of the state of humanity
and I'd quite agree

Julie comes to work at 5pm
she really tries
she thinks she's right
right
right
right
she makes me feel uncomfortable
says it hurts the baby when I don't
lay on
my side
she has her own prerogative
she sticks to her own rule
her face
it looks so tired but
she always seems to follow through

she's a lot like you
she's a lot like me
the only difference is
she has a clearer picture
of the state of humanity
and I'd quite agree

Constance she is
constantly checking
on my vital signs
signs
signs
signs
at least when
she awakes me
it is gently
it's an hour past midnight
night
night
she doesn’t like to sleep alone
she's somber when she's off
her reason to become a nurse was
to fix the suffering she saw

she's a lot like you
she's a lot like me
the only difference is
she has a clearer picture
of the state of humanity
and I'd quite agree
yeah I'd quite agree
wouldn't you quite agree?
