The New Virus

from O by Burnt Norton

/

lyrics

And in the last few seconds before a car crash claims your life you won't remember anything at all; will you remember anyone you've loved? And in the final minutes before the dance floor falls below, you'll dance pretty. I made a new virus, just like a brand new drug. You know I didn't want to, they put a gun to my head said "it's you or them" so of course I picked them instead. I hope they understand. And I made a new virus, just like a brand new drug. You know I didn't want to, but now it's out of my hands, lord, it's out of my hands. There's nothing that I can do, I hope they understand. And we are not post-war. One thing you've got to keep in mind: these men that we've hired to stand behind, these men aren't afraid to die. And in the last few moments, as the second hand sweeps around, we'll dance pretty. And I made a new virus, just like a brand new drug. You know I didn't want to, but now it's out of my hands, lord, it's out of my hands. There's nothing that I can do, I hope you understand. And I made a new virus, just like a brand new drug. You know I didn't want to, they put a gun to my head said "it's you or them" so of course I picked them instead, I hope they understand.
