It seems that your
Stomach wall
Is more well-lined than mine
'Cause I am curled up
On the floor
Each time I down hard times

When acid builds up in my stomach
Fears form in my mind
When I am sick and frightened
I come to you for my
Alkali
Sooth and neutralise

But every time
I require you
To sooth my aches
Some idea of what we could have been
Dissipates

When acid builds up in my stomach
Fears form in my mind
When I am sick and frightened
I come to you for my
Alkali
Sooth and neutralise

Oh this life
I just can't digest it all sometimes
And you have the solution
To make it alright
And I know there'll come a time when
You run out of my
Alkali
Alkali
Alkali
Alkali
