Cass McCombs - I Went to the Hospital lyrics

I dare not cough nor breathe deep
There's been a pain in my chest
For nearly a week

I wanna be famous for falling in love
I wanna be famous for falling in love

I went to the hospital they put me in a bed
Because I always do what my mother says
Why should I lie about results of a test?

I may soon be gone to pluck on a harp
Like those colored pencil portrait's of dogs
We saw on a blue tarp

But, I spotted a damsel if memory serves
I spotted a damsel if memory serves

I went to the hospital they put me in a bed
Because I always do what my mother says
Why should I lie about results of a test?

So who is your provider?
And where'd you get that bread?
Is it dying that terrifies you?
Or just being dead?

We are living in an era of kings
We are living in an era of kings

I went to the hospital they put me in a bed
Because I always do what my mother says
Why should I lie about results of a test?
