Sick Organism

You're a sick organism

And you're living on the edge of town

You're gulping for breath

Hoping that you'll be found

You're a dying breed

And I hope that you don't drown

You're a sick organism

And you're living on the edge of town

You've got a beautiful surface

I wonder what it really hides

You sent an invitation

But I think I'm gonna stay outside

The sun is shining and I hope that you don't get fried

You're a sick organism

And you're living on the edge of town

You're a sick organism

All your natural functions stalled

Like a fish out of water, you wait to be recalled

I hope the tide comes in or you won't get back at all

You're a sick organism

All your natural functions stalled

You fade in the daylight

The colour drained from your wings

You had a beautiful song

That you no longer can be bothered to sing

Best offer yourself as food for some living thing

You're a sick organism

And you're living on the edge of town

You've got a beautiful surface

Ailing on the chaos within

If it's all skin deep

Then I'm glad you had perfect skin

If the best survive

Then it looks like you won't win

You're a sick organism

And you're living on the edge of town

You're gulping for breath

Hoping that you'll be found

You're a dying breed

And I hope that you don't drown

You're a sick organism

And you're living off the edge of town

You're a sick organism

You're a sick organism

You're a sick organism

You're a sick organism
