Lyrics

Myopia

I can’t see, I can’t sleep

I can’t swim, I can’t talk

Can’t write, I can’t count

Can’t fly, can’t play today

Take your things and run away

Grab yourself a holiday

Fix your nose and change your name

Thyroid eyes they diagnose

Myopia

A red light stomach ache

Relax, but don’t be late

It’s too loud I’ve disappeared

I can’t drink, I can’t tell the time

Epic hero Gilgamesh

Battling with a lioness

One man war against the odds

Spectacles that break because

Myopia

I don’t think that I can afford ya

You make me ugly, anyhow

I think I see a car before me

Or maybe I’ve just hit a cow
