IMMUNE SYSTEM BLUES


My nervous system is immune
or so I like to think
my nervous system is immune
or so I like to think
but things are getting to me, and that
includes the kitchen sink.

I thought I had a way with words
but words are not a wall
I thought I had a way with words
but words are not a wall
a woman coming towards me and
the words aren’t there at all.

She said it looks like heaven and
I said somebody died
she said it looks like heaven and
I said somebody died
but in the final analysis
I think I’ll take her side.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE HUMAN RACE
EVERYONE IS NOT IMMUNE
I MEAN IT, BUT TOMORROW, I MAY
SING ANOTHER TUNE

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW HIGH THE MOON
I HAVE TO SAY I’M NOT IMMUNE
I’M SYSTEMATIC, BUT TOMORROW
I MAY SING ANOTHER TUNE

You want to know how high the moon
and if you will survive
you want to know how high the moon
and if you will survive
the odds against it are approximately
nine to five.

Now and then you have a cold
and then you’re getting old
now and then you have a cold
and then you’re getting old
your life insurance doesn’t work,
and then your home is sold.

You want to fight the system but
it seems like it’s immune
you want to fight the system but
it seems like it’s immune
because it is too big to fail
it’s like another moon

THE PROBLEM WITH THE HUMAN RACE
EVERYONE IS NOT IMMUNE
I MEAN IT, BUT TOMORROW, I MAY
SING ANOTHER TUNE

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW HIGH THE MOON
I HAVE TO SAY I’M NOT IMMUNE
I’M SYSTEMATIC, BUT TOMORROW
I MAY SING ANOTHER TUNE
