Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my '88
Taking my friend to radiate
His chest, lungs, and spleen
Stretched out on a big machine
It's a game he just can't lose
He's got the carcinoma blues
[Verse 2]
Well, it's something you gotta see
All this chemotherapy
His hair is getting thin
It's a game he's gotta win
All these pills and lethal brews
He's got the carcinoma blues
[Verse 3]
Now he's laying in a queue
All hooked up to wires and tubes
Sipping on some warm iced tea
Just staring at the walls
And listening in the halls
Will the doctor say how he's gonna be?
[Verse 4]
Now he's laying in a queue
All hooked up to wires and tubes
Sipping on some warm iced tea
Just staring at the walls
And listening in the halls
Will the doctor say how he's gonna be?
[Verse 5]
One thing that's pretty keen
He's got lots of green morphine
Losing weight down to his shoes
It's a game he just can't lose
A game he just can't lose
He's got the carcinoma blues
