Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) Lyrics

NURSE: Excuse me, doctor? If you have a moment.
DOCTOR: A moment? What's the question?
NURSE: More of a situation, a gentleman in Exam 3.
DOCTOR: What's the problem?
NURSE: That is the problem, we're not sure.
DOCTOR: You've got the chart?
NURSE: Right here.
DOCTOR: Hmm... not much here, is there?
NURSE: No doctor, no obvious physical trauma, vitals are stable
DOCTOR: Name?
NURSE: No sir.
DOCTOR: Did someone drop him off? Maybe we can speak to them. Let's get some background on this fellow.
NURSE: No ID, nothing, and he won't speak to anyone.
DOCTOR: Alright, let's say hello.

DOCTOR: Good morning, I'm Dr. Watson. How are you today? How are you today? Look, son, you're in a safe place, we want to help you, in whatever way we can. But you need to talk to us, we can't help you otherwise. Now, what's happened? Tell me everything.

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The meaning of the song itself is readily apparent.

The “Blame Hofmann” parenthetical in the title may refer to Albert Hofmann, the Swiss scientist known best for being the first person to synthesize, ingest, and learn of the psychedelic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). He was also the first person to isolate, synthesize, and name the principal psychedelic mushroom compounds psilocybin and psilocin.

The “Dr. Watson” mentioned may be a reference to the sidekick of Sherlock Holmes. This would make sense, given that the doctor is trying to solve the mystery of who the gentleman is and what’s going on.
