Lyrics

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? There is this illness in the end I need To get it out So when I bleed. 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 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. And when the doctor says you're gonna make it I tell him why I'm able to take 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.
