How They Suffer

Lyrics

It's not as much a deterioration fact, it's the disease I have
 Which uh, the right eye is blind, as you know
 And that was done, unfortunately, as a result of a detached retina
 And the retina, they could never splice together
 They tried to seal it together and couldn't
 And told me I'd lose my eyesight at that, y'know
 Short or long term, I would lose it
 And unfortunately, the retinal, uh
 A retinal detachment started in my left eye, my good eye, which I still have today
 And it was the result of glaucoma
 And a retinal, not detachment, but a retinal...
 I don't know what the hell they call it
 But, today, I am what they call legally...
 Because of this retinal problem and glaucoma
 I'm what they call legally blind
 ♪
 Today, I do not have a fever
 I feel about the same as I did yesterday
 I'm trying to eat a little better, so I can get stronger
 (You exercising?)
 I'm exercising by just walking around, around the house
 Is cool and empty yard last day
 (You have a headache?)
 No, I don't think I have a headache
 (A little dizzy, today?)
 Maybe slightly dizzy
 (You feel weaker or stronger than you did yesterday?)
 Just overnight, I don't seem to be much different over one
 Over one night, yesterday to today
 Takes a little bit longer than that
 (Any aches and pains anywhere? Or on when you fell?
 Or when you fell on your heater, having your exercise?)
 Well, that's sore, about where I fell on the heater
 (Where?)
 Well, I guess right here
 (Where is that?)
 I don't know what you call that
 (Does it hurt when you breathe?)
 It hurts a little bit when I breathe in a little deeply
 (D'you sleep at all?)
 Well, if you're asleep you can't tell whether you're asleep
