Perfect Circle, A - The Nurse Who Loved Me Lyrics






Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to the rugs topography...

  1. K.... L....

    Great !

  2. L.... H....

    I don’t know what that whimsical sounding melody is at the end or what instrument was used but I look forward to it every time I hear this song. Woke up today with that playing in my head, had to have a listen. Good morning 🥳

    L.... H....

    yesssss

  3. M.... G....

    Wouldn't just the music without the lyrics be perfect to welcome guests to a wedding?

  4. H.... P....

    When I went to detox, I flirted with the nurse. We dated for like 5 months. That was fun, a Pink Cloud of a reality.

  5. S.... R....

    😏🤘💖💖💖💖💖

  6. k.... ....

    This is one of those ballet songs.

  7. m.... r....

    Imagine if Fit For An Autopsy covered this song.

  11. M.... R....

    Ive never loved bliss in such a failure an i love myself for it so much!!

  12. P.... B....

    Takes me back to a stent at a research facility in 1994 ...

    P.... B....

  19. P.... P....

    ...pharmacy keys...

  20. J.... B....

    This song is about heroin if ya didnt catch it. Failures version is much more enticing imo, check it out!

    J.... B....

    No it's not

  21. d.... r....

    There was a girl I dedicated this song to. She was dangerous and risky but this son fitted us prefectly.

  22. O.... ....

    I remember in high school listening to this song on repeat in my headphones on the bus home while sitting next to my crush, but I was to awkward to say more than 'hi' to her,even tho I sat next to her every day. God damnit I really wish id asked her out.

  23. M.... M....

    That fuckin' little cup. When you first go in there's about 20. All of a sudden your left with just the vitamins.

  24. M.... M....

    A nod to the Beatles.

  25. M.... ....

    "Say hello - to the bad version"

  26. R.... D....

    One of relatively few love songs I can relate to

  27. F.... ....

    Took some years, but I'm glad I broke myself of this song's spell.

  28. t.... ....

    I had to dispose of a Walkman. It was stuck closed. The tape in it was of this song, over and over. It kept turning itself on.

  29. S.... R....

    😍😍😍😍😍 Such an amazing throwback.

  30. S.... ....

    This song is about transference...

  31. A.... C....

    hi 2019

  32. B.... W....

    This would be a perfect song for the joker and harly quinn

  33. B.... S....

    love the music and tempo to this version, and Maynard is a superb voice actor. like many other songs he's done, I kinda like this version a little better. call me a fan-boy, can't erase the magic.

  34. F.... ....

    best cover ever

  35. S.... B....

    Thirteen step reference to anonymous groups?

  36. A.... N....

    Im still here in 2019!!! Love APerfectCircle

  37. F.... K....

    Interesting song about a guy in a mental institution who falls in love with a psych ward nurse who he thinks is in love with him... lol

  38. P.... H....

    She gave me love and the shit I have never been able to find anywhere. Yo.

  39. S.... R....

    This song fascinates me....still.

  40. h.... ....

    Idk why but when I listen to this song it makes me feel nostalgic

  41. A.... M....

    Fri, March 29, 2019. I was obsessed with this song when I was in foster care. This band, and tool obv. Now, my fiance is almost done becoming a nurse. Weird how that played out....

  42. S.... M....

    Shes the queen I'm the nurse

  43. P.... H....

    Yes It's The Doctor and The nurse!

  44. M.... S....

    My wife was the nurse, as a veteran who fulling supports APC my wife was my nurse, she was my caregiver, and throughout or relationship she always dealt with my ptsd, my tbi, my spinal issues. Until one day I tried to commit suicide. We were never really stable in our marriage because we were so like minded but everything really ended there, I hid myself as to not hurt her again. To this day, we are still best friends and always will be but I tried to say hello to the rugs topography. This song has more meaning to me than any other song I’ve ever heard and I pray that one day she will find this song on her own because I can’t bare to show it to her without breaking down with sadness and guilt. I love you Sophia Solano

  45. K.... L....

    The people who say this song is beautiful clearly haven't heard the lyrics or the meaning behind the song. 😂 Yeah, it sounds beautiful, but it isn't.

    K.... L....

    Beauty is relative. Creepiness can be beautiful too.

  46. M.... M....

    Um...I first thought the rug was referring to an RN having to be rug certified to sign every MDS for medicare reimbursement but then I caught the double entendre...🤣 this band 😍 His nurse is upper management at a SNF...only the DON and ADON have the keys to the narc box and have to log and destroy them monthly. The DON and ADON typically are the ones to sign rugs as well.

  47. P.... F....

    Amazing cover...this mans voice is underrated

  48. J.... F....

    I married my nurse ❤️

  49. R.... M....

    Its even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

  50. I.... ....

    Anyone still here 2019?

    I.... ....

    Right here with ya man! 🤘

    I.... ....

    Never left... timeless music.

    I.... ....

    Where else would anyone be?

    I.... ....

    Here in Dec 2019

    I.... ....

    2020 babeyy

  51. T.... H....

    I need the instruments to stream on for hours after the lyrics end for when I need to literally drift off into meditation while glaring out into the clouds. Maybe even loop the lyrics back after a while. They're so beautiful.

    T.... H....

    Maybe lick my balls while you're at it??

  52. N.... ....

    This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Even though it talks about the subject of being addicted to medication and lust.

  53. L.... R....

    There’s two ways to do a cover: play it exactly as the original or make it your own song. This is a perfect example of a band completely changing a song in their cover.

  54. K.... Y....

    I love this song

    K.... Y....

    The concept is beautiful

  55. m.... k....

    maynard a douche

  56. B.... P....

    I don't dislike this cover of the song but nothing can compare to the original.

  57. S.... A....

    What is this song actually about?

  58. H.... x....

    ❤ - Lulz... Take the prescription writer out to dinner. wine, dine, & 69 her.

  59. M.... P....

    Love this

  60. E.... i....

    **spits out some blood and stares at the crack**

    ..bird

  61. Q.... T....

    I bet most people don’t even know the original by failure which is a magnificent band

  62. 6.... s....

    I don't even know wtf the game grumps is....I heard this song for the first time when I popped the CD into my player in my pickup after I dug through albums at a record store! How has that become non-existent??! I feel like youngsters are missing out because they will never again be able to experience music like we did before limewire and Napster.....ok.....did I just sound like the old guy?! Disregard everything I just said and carry on! Ha! Glad you youngsters still appreciate bands like this!

    6.... s....

    LMMFAO...I'm afraid that you did indeed just sound like the old guy. I'm 50 and I hardly remember Napster, and never used them. And Limewire (hasn't been Limewire for many years, if they even still exist in any form ). Your comment did humor the hell out of me though, and I thank you for that. 🐺☮☯🕉🐺

    6.... s....

    Jess Blackwolf u should watch them they are really funny

  63. R.... R....

    Not bad, but I prefer the orginal.

  64. D.... T....

    If you really knew what they were talking about on the song You Laughed your ass off. Talking about having sex with a female wire face is the fucking rug

  65. e.... i....

    Oh my gosh! It was so cool to hear this again!!!

  66. E.... i....

    perfect

  67. D.... W....

    To the woman who should me pain and love in it's pure form

  68. I.... d....

    I think someone should do the thing Pink Floyd did with The Wall to this album, the Thirteenth Step. Make a movie with the music.

  69. D.... K....

    Holy crap I didn't know this song was from failures Fantastic Planet I have that album.... I'll have to brush the dust off it and check it out

  70. D.... K....

    This is awesome. Really gives me that demented hospital stay state of mind. Maynard truly understands human minds and can toy with them. Scary, creepy, but Genius.

  71. H.... H....

    yes .... it´s so magical

  72. M.... ....

    Currently face down on the floor thinking about how it's the only thing that feels good, had to listen to this song

  73. M.... V....

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

    M.... V....

    Every time i hear it!

  74. J.... A....

    It’s not a bad rendition at all but I think the original is a little bit better, still this comes pretty close

  75. M.... S....

    I don’t give a shit how you got here, you’re still an amazing person because you now have a good taste in music either way. Spread it to this generation everyone, I’m sick of all these rappers that just mumble shit or don’t even say coherent words. Go my lovelies, spread the word of A Perfect Tool

  76. K.... L....

    Great !

  77. j.... ....

    This was my fav song when this album came out

  78. G.... B....

    Reminds me of Blackfield

  79. J.... R....

    I liked it. I always will. 🌹

  80. E.... i....

    deep breath -expulsion time

  81. T.... B....

    Sounds like what most mentally ill patients think. I know I did back in the day.

  82. J.... B....

    Get that slugger off of khalissi's face!

  83. G.... B....

    This song makes me feel nothing and somehow even less than that. How is this possible?

  84. A.... D....

    I'm thinking of the Blink 182 - Enema of the State album cover...

  85. l.... d....

    Anyone know where I can inquire them on special requests for a concert @ 360 Ampitheater in Oct in Austin Tx. Lame I know, but this was mine and my husbands dance song for our wedding. Would really enjoy hearing it the one time I get to see them.

  86. S.... B....

    whats this song mean?

  87. J.... R....

    I'm not bad I swear.

  88. J.... R....

    She acts like I'm bad.

  89. J.... R....

    I can see it her eyes

    J.... R....

    Say hello

  90. J.... B....

    Such beautiful music!!! such a nice voice!!!Everything in this world isnt UGLY afterall....

  91. s.... f....

  92. G.... D....

    My favorite song by Perfect Circle 😍

  93. M.... N....

    Love is A dream neVer to come true
