Lyrics for '92: Weird Diseases

When I was, yeah, high 'til I was three I suffered from petit mal epilepsy Any excitement gave me a fit But there were drugs to cure me of it Weird diseases I get weird diseases Whenever Krishna sneezes I get weird diseases So at the least sign of emotion I got a tranquilizing potion Thus from the time I was a young boy I could feel neither anger nor joy Just weird diseases Random weird diseases Once from eating recalled cheeses I got weird diseases Nearly fatal renal cysts Maybe Asperger's if that exists Pityriasis rosea Two separate times giardia Weird diseases I get weird diseases Wafting on the toxic breezes I get weird diseases Debilitating spider bites Hiccups for three days and nights A thousand earaches, one deformed eardrum Hyperacusis, what's that from? It's from weird diseases I get weird diseases Whenever baby Jesus pleases He gives me weird diseases Chronic fatigue COPD Petit mal epilepsy Two big holes inside my brain Migraine aura sans migraine Weird diseases I get weird diseases Weird diseases Weird diseases I get weird diseases
