Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson movie - Illness As Metaphor lyrics

rate me

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.
