Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma

Like a thorning in the heart

Earnt the right, a steeplejack

Thorning in the side it is

Mesothelioma

Like a thorning in the heart

There's asbestos everywhere

I can't even see my friends

I cannot but hope to die

Stick a needle in my eye

Stick a needle in my face

Like a thorning in the heart

Theres'o'thelioma

Nipped it in the bud it did

Indecent exposure

Caught him in the grasp of Christ

Cross my heart and hope to die

Stick a needle in my face

There's asbestos everywhere

I can't even see my friends

I cannot but hope to die

Stick a needle in my eye

Stick a needle in my face

Like a thorning in the heart
