Lyrics:

sickly Was Written Entirely In The Studio Over The Course Of A Few Hours. The Guys (Aaron, Nick &amp Jesse) Began To Jam On A Moody Song In The Main Room While I (Scott) Tried To Work Out A Suitable Melody And Lyrics. Without Much Warning sickly Was Born. Very Moody. Slightly Aggressive. Quiet And Loud. sickly Remains One Of My Very Favorite Lu Songs - Partly Because I Think Its A Good Song, And Partly Because Of How Mysteriously It Came To Be. Coupled With my World Falls Down On The Tail End, sickly Has Also Been A Favorite Concert Song. An Equally Moody Video For sickly Can Be Found On Poor Old Lus 1995 Video Cassette, sit &amp Stare.

this Song Is Strangely Simplistic Lyrically. The Verses Deal With Opposite Extremes, For The Most Part, Such As sunnyraining Or sadhappy, While The Chorus Is Just Flat-Out Frustration And Confusion. It Isnt Until The Last Few Lines That Any Good Comes Of It All - well, I Dont Know Much, But I Think Im On My Knees; Well, I Dont Know Much, But I Think I Gotta Pray. Sometimes Thats What It All Comes Down To - Still Dealing With The Pain, Confusion And Frustration, But Knowing Only That We Have To Pray. Amen.

is It Sunny
or Is It Raining Out Today
is It Calm Outside
or Is The Wind All On Your Face
did The Storm Subside
did It Leave Without A Trace

are You Well
or Have You Never Been So Sickly
are You Stupid
or Have You Never Been So Funny

will, I Dont Know, But I Think Im Gonna
scream
well, I Dont Know, But I Think Im Going
crazy

are You Empty
or Are You All Up Full Of Money
is Your Head Clear
or Is It Busy, Falling, Snowing
are You Sad
or Have You Never Been So Happy

well, I Dont Know, But I Think Im Gonna
scream
well, I Dont Know, But I Think Im Going
crazy
well, I Dont Know, But I Think Im
on My Knees
well, I Dont Know, But I Think I
gotta Pray
