The hospitals filled with coke-colored eyes
And nobody knows
The measles and mumps don't come close in size
Won't leave us alone
Created a packed-out room in the sky
Where Heaven would go
The smell so grotesque it kills your insides
And downward you go
Put your mask on, bastard, hazard, bye
Don't take it off till there are better times
Never heard a bad lung cough so dry
Go be by yourself, don't wanna die
Oh, the days move fast, it seems
Rotting bodies from gangrene
Wash the air with rosemary

To make me give up
People are just dying right on the block
And nobody cares
When crisis is near, their apathy calls
It's all they can hear
Put your mask on, bastard, hazard, bye
Don't take it off till there are better times
Never heard a bad lung cough so dry
Go be by yourself, don't wanna die
All the days move fast, it seems
Rotting bodies from gangrene
Wash the air with rosemary
It's the plague this century
No more coins to pay to live
All my lovers died from this
Nuclear war will take us next
Oh, the plague, it took my breath
All the days move fast, it seems
Rotting bodies from gangrene
Wash the air with rosemary
It's the plague this century
No more coins to pay to live
All my lovers died from this
Nuclear war will take us next
Oh, the plague, it took my—
