Big In Japan Unhealthy Lyrics

So it seems I've had this cold
Since I was young and now I'm old
That's why they say I'm unhealthy
Brittle bones and an iron lung
I speak of love with a coated tongue
That's why they say I'm unhealthy

But I do what I want
Despite the fact I've got
Every symptom to prove me ill
And the condition that ails me
Will only kill me if it doesn't fail me
I better make my appointments
And take my pills

I'll live for you

I've had this fever for seven years
And high-pitched ringing in my ears
Reminding me I'm unhealthy
My heart skips and palpitates
Ice-cold sweats when the fever breaks Then I forget I'm unhealthy

So I act on every impulse
To check myself out of this hospital
Never allowing myself to just get well
And when the doctors rush to revive me
I'll take the drugs that they prescribe me
Whether they work or not
Time can only tell

I'll get well soon

I'm gonna get better; I swear
I'm gonna get better for you
I'm gonna keep breathing the air
I'm gonna keep breathing for you
I'll give you a reason to care
I'll give a good reason to you
You'll see there's a chance I'll pull through
There's a chance and I'll prove it to you, yeah!
