The Acid Queen

"The Acid Queen" is a song written by Pete Townshend and is the ninth song on the Who's rock opera album Tommy. Townshend also sings the lead vocal. The song tells the attempts of Tommy's parents to try to cure him. They leave him with an eccentric gypsy, a self-proclaimed "Acid Queen", who feeds Tommy various hallucinogenic drugs and performs sexually in an attempt to free him from isolation. Several notable singers have performed the song including Merry Clayton, Patti LaBelle, Bette Midler and Tina Turner. more »

I'm fired up, I'm wired up, I cut loose, I ran in a panic
Mind so manic, like storm clouds and Xanax
You're so damn dramatic, so f*ck it
Yeah
I don't think I understand the word retreat
Cause I never lose focus
Every time I have a problem with me
My language so bogus
I tear down the wall and build back, I'm brand new
Just a couple of scar marks, like tattoos
Just a couple of bar fights and bad moods
Swinging fists, man, I swing and I miss
Every time I try to write these words
It bubbles to the surface
And that's where the trouble all starts
I wanna be perfect
I lose my mind five times a fucking night
Till the curtains pull back and shed the light
My mother said that I needed Jesus Christ
I said that man's bout as real as sleep at night
I'm fired up, I'm wired up, I cut loose, I ran in a panic
Mind so manic, like storm clouds and Xanax
You're so damn dramatic, so f*ck it
Five days swipe the credit for cocaine
Sine/Sign waves on a bitch like she's Coltrane
Woke up in the center of Old Main, Gold chains glisten like a vision of old days
She pulled up in a PT Cruiser, Dream scene like Kruger
Said get in, loser
I ain't never seen a bitch act smoother
So I risked that shit, but my Sixth Sense knew her
We hit the strip where the neon lights live
Seen the heights of the rich and priceless
Got hitched in a pinch like wise men, Blacked out in the street I'm Tyson
I woke up in a daze, coke dust on my legs
Heart busted and played
Car missing and chains
Arms riddled with pain, a little much for a night full of Riddalin cane
Yeah, Imma take a break, but Ray said half for a bag of shake
But I ain't never made a plan that's lame
Plus that's enough for the next five days
I think I'd die if I jumped from this height
I want to try by the end of the night
I'm so damn tired
Yeah
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm so damn tired, I'm so damn tired
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm so damn tired, I'm so damn tired
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
I'm fucked up, I'm spinning out, I'm reckless
