about
Having a laugh at being sick all the time in my mid twenties when my health should be on top of the world because I didn't know what else to do for a while.
lyrics
I'd answer the phone by I got an earache
Sorry if I don't call in sick today
I'd watch the midday movie but I'm loaded
Poppin' pills that don't do anything they claim
So my symptoms soldier on as normal
Just add drowsiness to the page long list
So I lay helpless try to sweat it out
And I cough my insides out
Dragons flame burns from my mouth
And more dizziness kicks in and
Once again the fortnight old cycle begins
Twenty four seven, aching from head to toe
Being stuck in bed is hard you know
Three hours broken sleep, a typical snooze
Rocking to the influenza blues
I'd tell you I love you but ow my throat aches
Filled with pain and mucus whatever I do
I'd come and give you a cuddle but I'm so dizzy
And I cough my insides out
Dragons flame burns from my mouth
And more dizziness kicks in and
Once again the fortnight old cycle begins
Twenty four seven, aching from head to toe
Being stuck in bed is hard you know
Three hours broken sleep, a typical snooze
Rocking to the influenza blues
Under my eyes reside the bags of doom
My system currently anything but immune
With my pharmacist I socialize
When vision I get from my eyes
Criminal beard flows from C.B.F.
Should at me for attention because I'm deaf
I'd get up but I'd be freezing
And have a hotplate on my skin
Would be ok if I was hungry
But since last night my appetite...
My appetite won't kick in
Sorry if I don't call in sick today
I'd watch the midday movie but I'm loaded
Poppin' pills that don't do anything they claim
So my symptoms soldier on as normal
Just add drowsiness to the page long list
So I lay helpless try to sweat it out
And I cough my insides out
Dragons flame burns from my mouth
And more dizziness kicks in and
Once again the fortnight old cycle begins
Twenty four seven, aching from head to toe
Being stuck in bed is hard you know
Three hours broken sleep, a typical snooze
Rocking to the influenza blues
I'd tell you I love you but ow my throat aches
Filled with pain and mucus whatever I do
I'd come and give you a cuddle but I'm so dizzy
And I cough my insides out
Dragons flame burns from my mouth
And more dizziness kicks in and
Once again the fortnight old cycle begins
Twenty four seven, aching from head to toe
Being stuck in bed is hard you know
Three hours broken sleep, a typical snooze
Rocking to the influenza blues
Under my eyes reside the bags of doom
My system currently anything but immune
With my pharmacist I socialize
When vision I get from my eyes
Criminal beard flows from C.B.F.
Should at me for attention because I'm deaf
I'd get up but I'd be freezing
And have a hotplate on my skin
Would be ok if I was hungry
But since last night my appetite...
My appetite won't kick in
