A Quick Trip to the Clinic
If you can fake a temperature
Is it just my imagination or
Are you no colder than you were before?
Even depression's not depressing anymore
Even disconnection can't connect us anymore
Turned on by thermometers?
To quote the nurse who's quoting a movie
Call the clinic, I need a worse nurse
It would take a hearse to move me
I'm sure you're shedding great fake
Lakes of saline sympathy
A colored contact for every emotion,
For any occasion, for every situation
These plastic modeled seats had to be
Cast from someone's perfect ass
Leaving the rest of us to squirm uncomfortably
Died of pneumonia that I got on the
Walk to get my flu shot
Buried in your perfect skin, like a catheter
You did all that chemotherapy just so you
Could keep hanging out with me
I didn't have the heart to dump you after that
Found naked in the noose now
Found naked in the new snow
They touch your skin, still insisting that you don't feel cold
