I dare not cough
|
Nor breathe deep
|
There’s been a pain in my chest for nearly a week
|
I want to be famous for falling in love
|
I went to the hospital
|
They put me in a bed
|
Because I always do
|
What my mother says
|
Why should I lie
|
About results of a test?
|
I may soon be gone
|
To pluck on a harp
|
Like those colored pencil portraits of dogs
|
We saw on a blue tarp
|
But I spotted a damsel if memory serves
|
I went to the hospital
|
They put me in a bed
|
I always do what my mother says
|
Why should I lie about results of a test?
|
So.
|
Who is your provider?
|
Uh.
|
Where’d you get that bread?
|
Is it dying that terrified you?
|
Or Just being dead?
|
We are living in an era of kings
|
I went to the hospital
|
They put me in a bed
|
I always do what my mother says
|
Why should I lie about results of a test?
