The Virus
It picks me upAnd slams downLike a rag dollIn the jaws of a dog
It dances and singsIt racks my brainIt calls my name It says:You caught me onceYou caught me twiceBut you won't catch me again Adrift in my deliriumIn space and time I whirl and whirlLike a dervishTurning to a tune played by God The room spins about my headWhere am I?Where am I?Where am I?
