franklin bruno - cat-scratch fever lyrics

Loading...

do you end at your skin?
yes i do
do you stop at sensation?
should be true
difficulties begin underneath
with a mild inflammation

so i went to see the medic
at the urgent treatment clinic
and i asked him
“doc, why can’t i
simply treat it with an antibiotic?”

he said:

“do you end at your skin?”
maybe so
“can you tell with precision?”
yes and no
“just how long you have been
in distress
would you mind an incision?”

so i counted myself under
while they stapled shut my shoulder
oh, and when i finally came to
i had nothing but a name to recover

there’s a part of me
size of a tangerine
firm consistency
they took it out of me

the surgeon said
“you’ll be fine
the m-ss we removed was completely benign
but don’t get c-cky
’cause you might not be so lucky next time”

so i went to stay at my mom’s
for a week of soup and sitcoms
in the grip of minor spasms
like the firing mechanisms on time bombs

do you end at your skin?
no i don’t
do you stop at sensation?
no i won’t
do you end at your skin
do you stop at sensation
