Modern Leper (Acoustic Radio Session)

by Frightened Rabbit

Lyrics
A cripple walks amongst you
All you tired human beings
He's got all the things a cripple has not
Two working arms and legs
Vital parts fall from his system
And dissolve in Scottish rain
Vitally, he doesn't care
He's too ****ed up to care
Is that you in front of me?
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
You must be a masochist
Love a modern leper on his last leg
On his last leg
I crippled your heart how many times
And you still can't work out why
See, I've got this disease
I can't shake and I'm just rattling through life
This is how we do things now
This is how the modern stay scared
Yeah I cut out all the good things
Yeah, I cut off my foot to spite my leg
Is that you in front of me?
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
You must be a masochist
To love a modern leper on his last leg
I am ill but I'm not dead
And I don't know which of those I prefer
'Cause that limb which I have lost
And that was the only thing holding me up
Holding me up
I'm lying on the ground now
You're walking through the only door
Said, I‘ve lost my eyesight like I said I would
I still don't know
