"Killing Me Slowly"

due very much to the influences of my fellow islanders, i have finally reworded my first song!

granted, i didn't reword the ramblings at the beginning of the song, and i think i added an extra verse, but you'll get the idea and i *think* you'll forgive me ;D Enjoy!


Killing Me Slowly

(To the tune of The Fugees – Killing Me Softly)


I heard it snowed a little

I heard it was minus 5

And so I went back home and laid in bed for a while

And then I heard the rain come

No stranger to my ears


Trapped in my home and it's winter

Watching my day just go by

Killing me slowly with this cold

Killing me slowly with this cold

Longing for Western insulation

Killing me slowly with this cold


I felt a little dizzy

From my kerosene high

And so I got up and sat under my warm kotatsu

I prayed my walls were thicker

But coldness kept right on


Trapped in my home and it's winter

Inhaling kerosene fumes

Killing me slowly with this cold

Killing me slowly with this cold

Praying for summer to come soon

Killing me slowly with this cold


And as I cooked my dinner

My hands were over the fire

And weak person I am I washed dishes with hot water

With my big ugly jacket

I try to beat the cold but I'm


Trapped in my home and it's winter

Lacking feeling in my toes

Killing me slowly with this cold

Killing me slowly with this cold

Seeing my breath as I sing this

Killing me slowly with this cold
