This is a song about how weird the second covid vaccine made me feel. Actually, I still feel really weird, even though it's been 5 days since I got it. But the first night, I went into a 101.1 degree fever and I felt weirder than weird. The malaise triggered by the shot made me feel as if I had a flu-bug on an alien planet. It made me feel like I was made of metal. It made me feel like I was a robot with a robot cold. That's the best description I can come up with for this.
The A phrase actually came to me when I had that fever; in retrospect, after I started working it into a song, I realized it's a wee bit of a re-statement of some of my earlier songs, but I kept on going with making it into a song cuz this is the song my fever wanted me to write.
The lyrics are:
I am your covid vaccinegiving you some fever dreams
I am making you feel freezing hot
I'm the shot you got today
making your world swim away
I am making you feel freezing hot
I have never felt this way before
Something like a fever-flu
I am making you feel freezing hot
And you don't know what to do
I am making you feel freezing hot
I have never felt this way before
I'm made of metal
I feel like I'm made of metal,
Like steel. I'm feeling unsettled
This must be what a flu feels like
On an alien planet, oh, shite!
But I will smoke some pot on the double
Taking a toke will make me untroubled
I feel like I am being bold
When I say that I have a robot cold
