SOME BRAND NEW MEDICINE
FOR THAT OLD
“WHAT IS THIS THING
CALLED LOVE”(SONG)?

 

Love is a sickness
I feel in the pit of my gut
every time I see you
and I’m not even turned on
yet
What can I say
I’ve got this thing
I can’t satisfy
without you
even though I realize
before we even meet
it won’t work.

I’ve been to hell
and back before
and came home
not only bearing souvenirs
but vaccine
to cure the broken hearts
littered at your feet
but I know
this is one
I won’t get out of
if I get into it
yet yet yet yet
there is no known cure
for no known disease
yet yet yet yet
I’ve got it
bad
this time
and the strange thing is
the disease itself
is the only known cure.
