Cancer
Carmen's really shaking, down town last night
everybody´s faking, I guess we're feeling alright
So you don't even have to answer
why all the little kids are playing everyday despite their cancer
they're so unique, in the middle of my sleep
they could never complain, because we've earned our keep
So you don't even have to answer
why all the little kids are playing everyday despite their cancer
we should try to be like all of them
talking to the late show, I'm gonna call my friends
we could never calm down until we've passed the end
wait a minute baby hold that thought
