Lyrics

Lucky with Disease

[Verse 1] Fell like a crippled crow Spinning through and breaking branches I'm in a bad way Call my friends, they'll know what to do I'm a better friend Than I've ever been a lover And that's not saying much But I'm not saying much today [Verse 2] In this cellular age Phone sex is too expensive Not as handsome as my brother But I've been lucky with disease And yes, I'm a better friend Than I've ever been a lover And that's not saying much But I'm not saying much today And I'm not saying much today [Outro] [?]
