Black Bile

We can win
We can win
I can feel it
But we can't run this house at a loss
Give us a chance
Just a little more money
And we'll beat back ol' karkinos

That Hippocrates
He just couldn't defeat the Black Bile
Black Bile
And Halsted's students turn the organs to meat for Black Bile

A mother fucker
A hypherphasic demon
Old Marie Curie finding fire in the mud
And then it gets in her blood

One more day
And maybe sixty more children
And I'll have the elixir of life
Mustard gas
Antifolates and X rays
With a brief trip under the knife
That Imhotep left the papyrus blank for Black Bile
Black Bile
Oh, Mr. Nixon
Won't you empty the bank for Black Bile

We tried to fill you with phosphate
Then we wrapped you in foil and burnt the monster in deeper
Papanicolou
Is this all we can do
Three button Syd
Tell us

How is little Jimmy

The widow Lasker's on the case now, motherfucker
We're all still in it

We gotta another million dollars now, motherfucker
The cure is nigh

What the fuck
Is that another placebo
Ride it out to the end of the trial
Baby steps
Push back the palliative ward

Excessive heat got all your humors shite
It's Black Bile
Black Bile
Oh Doctor, now
Will you finish the fight with Black Bile
