Mystery Disease Lyrics - Mgmt

It can't pay attention 

what slips into the system 

A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep 

Don't sympathize with the mystery disease 

All it is is a feeling, 

pain in a dress too revealing, 

a lost bond an old friend who likes what it sees 

You can't shake off the mystery disease 

Lovers in a past life 

meet in the street close to midnight, 

a last look sweet like the end of a dream, 

then fall back into the mystery disease

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Go on, tell your symptoms to me 

It's not in any of the books you can read 

It's no fun to face what you don't get to be, 

but what's one more to the mystery disease? 

Floating impatience 

snuffs my limited sapience 

Black smoke as soon as the pressure's released 

deep space sighs, the Mystery Disease 

Consumed by a weakness 

cut with perpetual unrest 

You see stars, sunsets blurred through a screen, 

trap what you want, waste what you need 

Photos 

And when the west wind sweeps through the leaves, 

emperors of history fall to their knees 

Small fronds can't see the wood for the trees, 

left in the dust of the mystery disease
