Sharp black lines cut deep across The gray rings fat swollen growth Breath less dry hack ashen faced The sick patient wheezing low It looks like nothing so much as a cancer As seen from above, dividing and spreading The pace is quickening And i feel the toll it's taking under my hand Round and round Dry hot red drained pock-marked It keeps going but it's deadly thin Can't quite root out the cause but You know what the number one suspect is We look like nothing so much as a cancer As seen from above, dividing and spreading The pace is quickening And i feel the toll it's taking under my hands Round and round.
