Heartbeats Lyrics by John Musto

The AIDS Quilt Songbook

0

Work out. Ten laps
Chin ups. Look good
Steam room. Dress warm
Call home. Fresh air
Eat right. Rest well
Sweetheart. Safe sex
Test blood. Count cells
Reds thin. Whites low
Dress warm. Eat well
Short breath. Fatigue
Night sweat. Dry cough
Loose stools. Weight loss
Get mad. Fight back
Call home. Rest well
Don’t cry. Take charge
No sex. Eat right
Call home. Talk slow
Chin up. No air
Arms wide. Nodes hard
Cough dry. Hold on
Mouth wide. Drink this
Breathe in. Breathe out
No air. Breathe in
Breathe in. No air
Blackout. White rooms
Head hot. Feet cold
No work. Eat right
CAT scan. Chin up
Breathe in. Breathe out
No air. No air
Thin blood. Sore lungs
Mouth dry. Mind gone
Six months? Three weeks?
Can’t eat. No air
Today? Tonight?
​It waits. For me
Sweet heart. Don’t stop
Breathe in. Breathe out
