For the Sake of a Man Dying of Small Pox

Take it in slowly

Don’t think about it too much

That’s all I can think of

Just do the same as me


Waiting for the movie

Clatter of the shoes and such

That’s all there is to love

That’s all there is to see


Oh! Darling, it’s not me

Oh! Darling, it’s never me


Live through them vicariously

Look but don’t touch

Pushing after shove

Cheap, but it’s not free


Live your life less anxiously

Steal somebody’s crutch

Spray paint covered doves

Fall into the sea


Oh! Darling, it’s not me

Oh! Darling, it’s never me


Take it in slowly

Don’t think about it too much

That’s all I can think of

Just do the same as me


Oh! Darling, it’s not me

Oh! Darling, it’s never me

Oh! Darling, it’s not me

Oh! Darling, it’s never me
