Nothing to worry about It's just a little flu Take this pills and you'll be good Heat plasters help But this backache is a pest The cough is too annoying At night you can't rest You ran a marathon Oh, you can't be sick Just be patient and you will see Pray Lord God Be faithful and bless Doctor How long am I gonna have to rest I open the door and hear your voice Oh, it sounds so feeble Now I've got to make a choice Waiting in the hall Very first time alone Something isn't good at all But I just don't want to know Nineteen What do you want from me I've been waiting here too long Show me The beauty everyone sees I guess I forgot how it looks like Nineteen Nobody will answer when I scream Marble pink Is that all you have for me Draining death flowing quietly in your veins Who would have known What you would become A bald pale head A swollen greenish face Your backside empty and flaccid Your belly looks inflated Legs like skinny sticks Bruises on the skin A hillock on the chest Mum where are your breasts The day you slipped and scratched your knee You thought you broke your bones and cried on me Tears of desperation Lack of hope Resignation It was too much for me You can't, mum please But I lift you up and force myself to smile I try to look quiet but I am shocked inside Confusion Dismay Strength Be brave Who was the mother Who the child that day Nineteen What do you want from me I've been waiting here too long Show me The beauty everyone sees I guess I forgot how it looks like Nineteen Nobody will answer when I scream Marble pink Is that all you have for me The bed is white The sheets white too Here are your clothes, mum I washed them for you Everyone leaves the room Something's wrong Worried looks Maybe you didn't notice Maybe it's just you being you We chat a little bit, TV is on, nurses coming They give you sleeping pills Check the drip And say Hello To you Goodbye Sleep well mommy I'll be back soon My love is beside me We're waiting for the call She didn't ask for this She doesn't deserve it No sleep tonight No passion No kisses 20 years old Can we keep up with this In the end we doze off But the phone sings home From coughing to coffin Did you get the pun Nineteen What do you want from me I've been waiting here too long Show me The beauty everyone sees I guess I forgot how it looks like Nineteen Nobody will answer when I scream Marble pink Is that all you have for me
