Contagious Lyrics

You choke back that bitter pill, call in to work

And cough out the true excuse as you shiver with a chill

It came early that morning as the radio crackled the blizzard warning

Night eyes shut tight to the cold frost forming on your window

You sleep through the storm, wake only to stretch and yawn, roll over

Another day gone by

Slow down, hibernate, another day and everything will be OK

Everything's gonna be OK

Gotta clear out the cobwebs, make the bed that you slept on

Dry out the pillow that you wept on, turn up the heat and run the bath

Soak out all the grey, wash it all down the drain

And watch the storm rage on outside

I see the weather on my local station

The meteorologist says"leave everything for later"

I read my horoscope in the daily paper

The astrologist says"don't wait for later"

Get up, get out, today's the day to make everything OK

This contagious sort of feeling comes up every spring

You've got to break free from the cold that's draped you since the last season

No need to wait, don't hesitate, you only get what you deserve

And summer must be coming soon

And everything's gonna be OK
