Birds in the trees, they're singing to me
And they're made of cancer
The boys in the band and the girls in the street
They're made of cancer
The books that I read and the thoughts in my head
And they're made of cancer
Doctors say stay awake stay alive stay inside
That's the answer
Your days will be numbered
Your days will be fact
Scarlet tattoos on the arm
No time to think and you cannot relax
No one is innocent now
Don't touch your children and don't touch your wife
You don't know where they have been
The neighbors are watching the neighbors are talking
And you don't know what they have said
The paint on the walls and the film that I saw
And they're made of cancer
The birds and the trees and the birds and the bees
And they're made of cancer
Chords that I play and the words that I say
They're made of cancer
Doctors say stay awake stay alive stay inside
That's the answer
Your days will be numbered
And you will be numbered
A scarlet tattoo on the arm
You cannot think and you cannot relax
No one is innocent now
Don't touch your children and don't touch your wife
You don't know where they have been
The neighbors are watching the neighbors are talking
And you don't know what they have said
Your days will be numbered
And you will be numbered
A scarlet tattoo on the arm
You cannot think and you cannot relax
Something is going around
Don't touch your children and don't trust your wife
You don't know where they have been
The neighbors are watching the neighbors are talking
And you don't know what they have said
