"I Feel Fantastic" by Jonathan Coulton, performed in sign language by Stephen Torrence. This one is December Song Week #6 and it goes out to all my pill junkie homies. Lyrics/gloss below. Enjoy!
I get up early when the sleeping pill wakes me
MORNING PILL HIT, I AWAKE
I take a wake up pill and fill with energy
ENERGY PILL-TAKE, AWAKE!
I power on hard and I check my messages
COMPUTER TURN-ON, MESSAGE LOOK-FOR
But I dont have any messages
BUT NOT HAVE MESSAGE
I take a driving pill and head to my car
DRIVE PILL-TAKE, CAR GET-IN
I drive around a bit cuz work isnt very far
[CAR CIRCLING] WORK [RIGHT-THERE]
I call my phone and I check my messages
MY PHONE, MESSAGE WAIT-FOR
But I dont have any messages
BUT NOT HAVE MESSAGE
All I know is driving on drugs feels better when theyre prescription
I KNOW DRIVING WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUG BETTER
All I know is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful
I KNOW WORLD BEAUTIFUL, WORLD REALLY BEAUTIFUL
And I feel fantastic
I FEEL FANTASTIC
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
BEFORE NEVER FELT-LIKE NOW
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
BUT PONDER, MAYBE ONE-DAY PAST
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
I FEEL [SAME-THEN-AND-NOW], NOW++
[repeats]
Work is anything but quiet these days
RECENTLY WORK BUSY
I try to medicate my concentration haze
CANT FOCUS, CONFUSION, PILL-TAKE++
I can feel the day unfold in front of me
PAPER [PILING UP], PUSH ASIDE
So I take the stairs and hit the gym
STAIRS [ASCEND] WORK OUT
The phone is ringing when I get to my desk
FINISH, RETURN, MY PHONE [RINGING]
What was a stingings now a sharp pain in my chest
[CHEST STING] BECOME PAIN!
So I take a Calminex and just chill
PAIN PILL-TAKE, RELAX
And then its time for lunch again
FINISH, FOOD TIME
All I know is work is easy when you dont stress out about deadlines
I KNOW WORK EASY IF [PAPER PILE] IGNORE
All I know is I take my medicine I always take my medicine
I KNOW PILL-TAKE ALWAYS PILL-TAKE++
[chorus]
Sometimes Id like to slow things down
SOMETIME I WANT LIVE SLOW
Enjoy the moment
NOW ENJOY
But when I look the moments gone
BUT LOOK, NOW [MOVE AWAY, GONE]
Work is over but I cant stay to work late
WORK FINISH, BUT CANT STAY
Got to leave and get ready for my second date
MUST PREPARE FOR MY 2ND DATE
With a pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy
WITH GIRL PRETTY, PHARMACY
Right in the prescription line
LINE MEET-HER-THERE
I take a pill for my social anxiety
RELATIONSHIP ANXIOUS PILL-TAKE
I get a table and a nice bottle of Chablis
TABLE ARRANGE, WINE BOTTLE [SET-UP]
Now its getting late and theres still no sign of her
[HOURS PASS] LOOK-FOR-HER, NOTHING
I have another glass of wine
WINE POUR, DRINK
All I know is the wine lasts longer when you dont gotta share it with someone
I KNOW MORE WINE IF NOT [POUR-FOR-TWO]
All I know is my steak tastes better when I take my steak tastes better pill
I KNOW STEAK TASTE-BETTER IF I STEAK PILL-TAKE
