lyrics

Well i'm too much pain to cry
it burns my head and right down my spine
lay in the dark cause it burns my eyes
i don't know if its day or night

and i'm down to 32 kilos
and if i drink a drop of water it makes me spew

and i feel so confused
i got the cryptococcal meningitis blues

the catholic priest with the pale blue eyes
pats my hand and sits by my side
his lips are moving but i cannot hear
i'm so full of hate - so full of fear

and i cannot eat even just a single crumb of food

and its so hard for me to swallow
with a thick rash of thrush growing right down my throat
and i feel so confused
i got the cryptococcal meningitis blues

what am i going to do?

when i first got sick i decreed
i didn't want anyone to visit me
but nine months later and i cannot believe
you took my words so seriously

and yeah i wanna live
but i can't take it any more
in these killing fields
up in the ward on the seventh floor

and i'm thinking of you
cryptococcal meningitis blues

How about you?
