Influenza

Picture of your discomfort

Placed for all to see

Earnest face in the mirror

Looking back on me

Hang around after midnight

I am your excuse

You think I'm competition

But I wouldn't be caught dead

Drink it up, hon

You're doing well, son

Just know that

I won't, I won't

I won't run back to you

I'd fall down

I won't, I won't

I won't follow it through

I wouldn't drown

I don't know what I'm doing

But I love you

I would tire if, like you, I was

Forced to eat too much

I can't hear what you're saying

Those words you use are gargantuan

So hey, friend, what you drinking?

Let's get lost until tomorrow comes

Drink it up, hon

(They say) You're doing well, son

Just know that

I won't, I won't

I won't run back to you

I'd fall down

I won't, I won't

I won't follow it through

I wouldn't drown

Funny how vandals

Cry like animals

Influenza

I've got influenza, hey

I drink it up, I drink it up

I drink it up, I drink it up and up and up and up

But good luck

Just know that

I won't, I won't

I won't run after you

I'd fall down

I won't, I won't

I won't follow it through

I wouldn't drown

But I was, I was

To get away from you

But I'm down

I won't, I won't

I won't follow it through

I wouldn't drown
