lyrics

The infection was spread so easily
From one clammy hand to the next
It'd gone viral all around the world
Just like some scandalous text
And we were astonished and we were amazed
And we were perplexed

The infection leeched into our water supply
And no one seemed to care
It was borne upon the wind
It was the color of air
It came home to sleep with you
As you rested in your comfy chair

It snuck into the food we ate
It got into our favorite beers
It started coursing through our veins
It poured out of us in our tears
It crept up on us in our sleep
It came into our place of work
It took down every CEO
It took down every last stinkin' clerk
It smelled like lilacs in the spring
It tricked us with its sweet perfume
It made us want it all the more
It only brought us doom and gloom
It took us down down like a plague
It had no antidote or cure
It ravaged the entire human race
It left behind only hearts so pure
