The Doctor Is Calling Lyrics
The doctor is calling
Something's gone wrong
Nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room
Something's going down
But I can't make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
Always sharing trips
Remove me from your lips
Sight and mind still and never go away
One too many tantrums
Deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
This place is my home
My mind still runs free
The doctor's prescription
Less for you and more for me
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
A merciful embalming
I hear the doctor calling me away
Nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room
But I can't make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
Remove me from your lips
Sight and mind still and never go away
Deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
My mind still runs free
The doctor's prescription
Less for you and more for me
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
A merciful embalming
I hear the doctor calling me away

That last line, wowww!!! His voice makes me quiver...
A mentally unstable person at the end of his life. "Better lock the phantom away" may refer to multiple personalities.
Nobody's commented on this yet? Bloody great song. Best off the album, in my opinion.
I've no idea what it's about, of course. Looking at the lyrics, it's probably about someone going insane.
nope! its about someone getting really bad news at the doctors office and everything going on in his head because of it, like the doctor telling him he has cancer or a few months to live. or, it might even be about when mustaine actually had a near death experience, but i dont know if the timelines match up for that theory.
