Story Behind The Song
How the highly infectious Covid 19 virus is stalking us, how the woman in the song knows it desires her, wants to enter her body and destroy her. She hardly sleeps, wakes feeling hot, fearing she has fever, and may not wake. That it tries to make her forget to take all the precautions she should against it. That it has spread so far and wide, we are searching for a vaccine it can't resist that will defeat it.
Song Description
The woman sees it as an attacker stalking her, wanting to get inside her and kill her. Tension scrambles her brain, disturbs her sleep, smetimes makes her forget to use a tissue, wash her hands with soap, filling her with fear and guilt. That she longs for the scientists to concoct a drink the virus can take, a liquid vaccine that can defeat it.She dreams of having wings and flying away in the chorus.

Lyrics
You come to kill me
and try to fill me,
I dance in circles round your crown, fear in my brain.
You so desire me, enter and tire me,
but I must not-come near your-lethal Covid name.
Your germs are creeping, when I am sleeping,
infect my throat in death's eternal, fever grip,
but I keep waking, and you're not taking- my life,
and once again, my instinct fights - gives you the slip.
Chorus
She sees you on the ground, in our breath and all around......
wants to grow a pair of wings, so......
when she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries, not ever.........
when she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries not ever.
You try to take me, and then to make me-
not do the things, I know that I should really do,
not use a tissue, make soap an issue,
and let you multiply--until I'm filled with you.
Your saturating, has got us making, a drink,
that comes to fight - and one you can't resist,
and while you savour, - its unique flavour,
a vaccine tries - to make sure - you cannot exist.
Chorus
She sees you on the ground, in our breath and all around......
wants to grow a pair of wings, so......
when she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries, not ever.........
when she flies the skies, stardust in her eyes,
now she never cries not ever.
