Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson movie
Текст песни Illness As Metaphor

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oooo



JACKSON: I think you might be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.



RACHEL: My name is Rachel.



A wise woman once wrote

That illness is not metaphor

Than 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.



ENSEMBLE:

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



ENSEMBLE:

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



But Susan Sontag's dead

So I guess her cancer wasn't metaphorical after all.

Sorry.
