Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson movie - Illness As Metaphor текст песни

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oh, Andrew Jackson

Oooo



JACKSON: I think you might be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.



RACHEL: My name is Rachel.



A wise woman once wrote

That illness is not metaphor

Than why do I feel sick when I look at you?



JACKSON:

There is this illness in the end I need

To get it out

So when I bleed.



ENSEMBLE:

It's not blood

It's a metaphor for love

These aren't veins

Just the beating of my heart

This fever isn't real

It represents how I feel

My pain transformed into art




JACKSON:

If you feel like you might throw up

Well that's a metaphor for how I feel

When I dream of you.



JACKSON AND RACHEL:

Bathed in your metaphorical blood.



RACHEL:

And when the doctor says you're gonna make it

I tell him why I'm able to take



ENSEMBLE:

It's not blood

It's a metaphor for love

These aren't veins

Just the beating of my heart

This fever isn't real

It represents how I feel

My pain transformed into art

My pain transformed into art



But Susan Sontag's dead

So I guess her cancer wasn't metaphorical after all.

Sorry.
