and i feel a little itch
i haven't felt in a while
i can hardly contain the way
i got my last paycheck
on my last friday

got a lump inside my chest
about the size of an egg
i'm pushing in thru the back
and make my way to the stage
i'm gonna spread it all around
i'm gonna spread it, spread it
this is
sickness
i'll say anything
just give me some more medicine
this just may be the last of my days
call the guidant corporation
make sure to use my name
then call the nearest electrician
people i'm in some pain
get on the radio to HQ
maybe that means their gonna try to say
i keep the magnets away
i the same for microwaves
they get inside my veins
they take away my legs
and i'm forgetting all your faces
i'm forgetting all your names
i got a pony in my ribcage
and shes dragging me away
i gotta make it thru the last song
maybe thats insane
i gotta do it to the death to the death to the death
and i'm a give it all away
because i'm mother fucking vain
the press is on the way
i got an image tro maintane
this is
business
i'll say anything
just give me some more medicine
this just may be the last of my days
getting sicker everytime we play
getting sicker everytime we play
check the ticker, check the ticker, check the ticker
check the ticker, check the ticker, check the ticker
and there's a first time for everything
like everybody says
and i do all the measuring
that's me all fucking day
i keep a smile while i'm measuring
every fucking day
i keep a smile while i'm measuring
the festering the pestering
and there's a last time for everything
just might be today
another line of questioning
that don't get in the way
it never was worth mentioning
ah no it never was worth mentioning
now was it
this is
sickness
i'll say anything
just give me some more medicine
this just may be the last of my days

what can happen
to one honest man
for telling the truth
oh if you only knew
one honest man

i'm taking the high road
and letting it slide
one more time
stockpile knives gunparts and vicoden
so call up the boys

dont give in when they beg you for rest
you thought that you knew
how much time you had left
oh if you only knew
what can happen
to one honest man
for telling the truth
oh if you only knew
one honest man
one honest man

everybody says i'm too uptight
and i spend too much time alone
these are the same people
friends of mine

i'm as pure as a pretty little baby
with a name that everybody hates
when i make up my mind
to get out of bed
when the chubby baby legs
start pressing the ground its time
he was poor boy once
but it didn't sit well
having doubts about his friends
movin out of his home town
know he's looking for the best way
to let everybody know
just how far he's gone
he's as pure as a pretty little baby
with a face that everybody hates
when i make up my mind
to get out of bed
when the chubby baby legs
start pressing the ground its time
thats what smoke machines are for
help to spread the glow
thats what I.C.U's are for
let the good times roll
and now i got a brand new best friend
and now he knows just where i been
and now i'm gonna use his name
use his name on everything
i ever have to sign again
that's what smoke machines are for
help to spread the glow
that's what german names are for
tell the inside joke
i'm as pure as a pretty little baby
with a thing that everybody hates
when i make up my mind
to get out of bed
when the chubby baby legs
start pressing the ground its time

well you must be making someone very rich
she said
to make a living off of trying to hard
and you must be overdue now for a rest
she says
from time to time she makes some pithy remarks

garble escapes from the great majority
just like everyone else
it's as easy as a counting 1,2,3
it's as easy as a counting 1,2,3
it's as easy as a counting 1,2,3
it's a simple formality
wants respect from the great majority
just lilke everything else
it's as easy as a counting 1,2,3
its as easy as a counting 1,2,3
its as easy as a counting 1,2,3
a simple formality
well you know you're very lucky to be sick
she says
everyday i work on new ways to show
this
and if she rattles off the things she won't miss
like moi
i get a million dollar smile that won't go

mostly people say
they can't believe
that someone just like me
can be still standing
they can't believe how lucky
mostly i agree
lucky old me
i feel the street
press on my back
i've seen the shoes of passers by
relax and watch the sky
i've seen machines
i hear the beeps
i feel the tubes
go in my mouth
and i try to pull 'em out
didn't hurt i can't decide
i didn't see no other side
at all
there was no pain it felt like sleep
it was not mystical or deep
and i didn't wave goodbye
i have to stay away
from things that have
a dose of nicotine my friends
i am
allergic to magnets
can't believe how lucky
wouldn't you agree
lucky old me
i feel the street
press on my back
i've seen the shoes of passers by
relax and watch the sky
