Do I Love You As Much As I Did When You Weren't Sick?

Isn't it funny how a cell in the body

Can act with a mind of its own?

When one becomes a million in all

The metaphors melt amid the caterwaul

As God returns the insult

A lover grieved is a burden relieved

And all the time that I bought

Was bought with the wrong currency

There's an answer I don't want to hear

To a question I don't want to ask

But do I love you as much as I did when you weren't sick?

The answer I don't want to hear

To the question I don't want to ask

Do I love you as much as I did when you weren't sick?

I sing on the pedestrian bridge

With an ambulance below on the street

We do this every night when I leave

We go, "Wee-ah, wee-ah, wee-ah, wee-ah, wee-ah"

To a tune in time, when two became three

"Y" is for "you" and "m" is for "me" and

"A" is for "ARA-C"

With a side of splenomegaly

There's an answer I don't want to hear

To a question I don't want to ask

But do I love you as much as I did when you weren't sick?

The answer I don't want to hear

To the question I don't want to ask

But do I love you as much as I did when you weren't sick?

Tomorrow is a rumor, you say

And nobody else says anything

Save crestfallen Padre Pio

Who says to Doctor Moreau

"Give me a broken thermometer, one that reads a bit low"
