Contagious

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
