The Punk Rock Hospital of Love

Take me to the punk rock hospital of love
I want to dye my hair and get some friendly push and shove
The doctors there are so strange and kind,
They've walked the same twisted corridors as my twisted mind
And I'll lay on a dusty mattress on the floor
In an abandoned building with no lock on the door
Exhilarated by the freedom I've found
Happy as can be -
'Cause the universe is supporting me

And the springtime air blows in the windows with no glass
I'm so free - 
No future and no past
And the emptiness will soothe my mind
'Cause just the crumbling walls and time is mine.

Take me to the punk rock hospital of love
I want to bang my head and get some friendly push and shove
Hang with my friends on Saint Mark's Place
Laugh and play 'till my sadness is erased
Draw on my arm and beg for change
And watch the world look at me like I'M the one who's strange

See the girl in the corner,
Her black hair hanging like a shroud?
She's too strange, -
Too weird for the cool/cold crowd.
But no matter how far she's fallen from grace,
I know a place where her strangeness is embraced - 
The punk rock hospital of love.

O take me to the punk rock hospital of love!
Where it's all right if I feel super fucked up
The doctors there are so strange and kind - 
They've walked the same twisted corridors as my twisted mind
I can scream and cry
 Its all right,
'Cause there's gonna be a hardcore show tonight
At the punk rock hospital of love.
