LYRICS
These symptoms are confussin’
Can’t figure my head from my tail
While all the while I’m oozing
On my knees, to no avail
Don’t ask me
What’s the matter with me
If I knew
Would I be asking you?
These symptoms are less than amusin’
Dumbfounding me to no avail
While all the while I’m loosing
Oh why won’t what ails sail?
Don’t ask me
What’s the matter with me
If I knew
Would I be asking you?
It’s starting to come through
I’m starting to get a clue
The frailty of humanity
Inevitability of mortality
Exactly
What’s the matter with me
Is that what’s ailing you, too?
