It works like a sickbug
I'm not feeling myself
It makes me curl up, it makes me wish I was dead
I've checked all the symptoms
They've got me sketchy and worried
I need to flush it out with anything that's within reach

I'm a hot blooded mammal and my heart's just a muscle
It pumps my blood around me and I need every drop to help me
This morning was spent at my window
It seems to help them in movies
But I hope that their views are less boring
And this sequence will end

I feel burnt out
I feel dried up
Inside me my muscle is twisted and
All around it my body's a mess
I'm a hot blooded mammal and my heart's just a muscle
It pumps my blood around me and I need every drop to help me

It's not something I understand
It takes its time I understand but things
Have changed, you understand
I'm a hot blooded mammal and my heart's just a muscle
It pumps my blood around me and I need every drop
To help me and I need every drop to help me
I need every drop to help me

I feel sorry for all of my colleagues
God knows how they're coping
But if I didn't call in sick
I'm a carrier, contagious, a threat
