sick_wilson | Please Cure Me a Filk Song

Title: Please Cure Me
Summary: Wilson is tired of being tortured by us Campers at Camp Sick!Wilson.
Challenge: Filk song Challenge
AN: I know I put up the lyrics to another song by this band yesterday but I've been listening to this album a lot lately. I found it while I was organizing my CD collection after a big move.
Rating: G I guess. No swear words, not even suggestive.

original song: "Briefly" by Better Than Ezra. You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODHkBthdGBc

And these are the original lyrics:

"Wake me up; Slap my face
Draw me closer in to your embrace

Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell, slowly losing yourself

And now I'm close but not touching
And I'm cold but not freezing
And I'm only alive, only alive
Briefly

Can you feel? Could you love?
Are you further now from where you started?
I bet you do enough just to get by
Don't you?

Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope
And a cop's light goes by, and the moon lights the night

And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly

And you're a starlight that shines

for a moment in time
In time"

And here is my version:

"They make me sick; slap my face

Make drink something, that’s been poison laced

Cause the campers like to make suffer in every way

And nobody wants to just leave me be

So I suffer from leukemia, and suddenly develop things like hypoglycemia

And now I’m sick but not dying

I’ve got a cold and I’m bleeding

And I’m always this sick, always this sick

So please cure me.

Why can’t I heal? Should I give up?

How many times can I get the chickenpox?

No wonder there are so many stories about me getting high

No wonder

Cause the campers like to make suffer in every way

And nobody wants to just leave me be

There’s a glass shard in my eye and I choke on a French fry

And now I’m sick but not dying

I’ve got a cold and I’m bleeding

And I’m always this sick, always this sick

So please cure me.

Stumbled into a wasps nest last night

I need to get away from this camp

Right now."
