Sick Organism Songtext
von John Wesley Harding & The Minus 5

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
