[Verse 1]
Tell you a story
'Bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like black and white movies
No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
"You could be here forever"

[Chorus]
Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known
Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart

[Verse 2]
He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
"I'm the disease and the cure
Skin mechanics couldn't help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely"

[Chorus]
Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known
Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart

[Bridge]
Trick it up
Trick it up good
Trick it up
Trick it up good

[Chorus]
Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known

[Verse 3]
She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
"This is a real love story"
I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
"You could be here forever"

[Chorus]
Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known
Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart
Can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known
Do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart
