Cardiac Contagion    (Tom Janssens)

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat
My heart misses ev’ry second beat.
I’ve got a fever and clammy hands.
There ain’t no doctor that understands.

It’s like a virus, that’s in my head.
It gives me the shivers, it makes me sweat.
I feel my heart in my throat.
That ain’t normal, I’m off my oats.

You make me delirious, you make me sick
You’re my cardiac contagion
I’ve never been as ill as this
But you won’t hear me complain!

My skin is crawling, my knees are shaking
And I talk out of the back of my neck
I’m hyperactive, but still I’m slow
Will anybody hear my cry of woe

Chorus
