michael friedman - illness as a metaphor lyrics

Loading...

[band]
oh, andrew jackson
oh, andrew jackson
oh, andrew jackson
oh, andrew jackson
oh, andrew jackson
oh, andrew jackson
oh, andrew jackson
oooo

[jackson, spoken]
i think you might be the most beautiful woman i’ve ever seen

[rachel, spoken]
my name is rachel

[rachel]
a wise woman once wrote
that illness is not metaphor
so why do i feel sick when i look at you?

[jackson]
there is this illness in the end i need
to get it out
so when i bleed

[band]
it’s not blood
it’s a metaphor for love
these aren’t veins
just the beating of my heart
this fever isn’t real
it represents how i feel
my pain transformed into art

[jackson]
if you feel like you might throw up
well that’s a metaphor for how i feel
when i dream of you

[jackson and rachel]
bathed in your metaphorical blood

[rachel]
and when the doctor says you’re gonna make it
i tell him why i’m able to take

[band]
it’s not blood
it’s a metaphor for love
these aren’t veins
just the beating of my heart
this fever isn’t real
it represents how i feel
my pain transformed into art
my pain transformed into art

[jackson]
but susan sontag’s dead
so i guess her cancer wasn’t metaphorical after all
sorry
