John Wesley Harding
Sick Organism
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You're a sick organism, all your natural functions stalled
Like fish out of water, you wait to be recalled
I hope the tide comеs in or you won't get back at all
You're a sick organism, all your natural functions stalled
You fadе 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 (Solo)
[Verse 3]
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
Where 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
[Outro]
You're a sick organism
You're a sick organism
You're a sick organism
You're a sick organism
