Positive
Michael Franti & Spearhead

Make me, make me sweat*

Til I'm wet, til I'm dry

But then wipe this tear from my eye

Haven't even felt this warm in a long time

Even out in the bright sunshine

In a lifetime of springtimes


I fall into your arms

With my heart pumpin' on

Like a bubblin' dub track

Like a garlicy hot tongue and lip smack


I did some contemplation

Before we got down to this consecration

Or maybe baby something in your kiss said

It was an impetous

For me to rethink this


If I love you

Then I better get tested

Make sure we are protected


I walk through the park

Dressed like a question mark

Hark!

I hear my memory bark

In the back of my brain,

Makn' me insane...

...like cocaine


[Chorus:]

But how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?

Is it gonna be a negative?

How'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?

Is it gonna be a negative?

But how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?


Dawned on me, it seemed to me

That this is unusual scenery

This red light greenery

Make me feel kinda dreamery

Thinkin' how I used to be


Arrive at the clinic

And walk through the front door

I take a nervous number

Then I'm thinkin' some more

About all the time

That I neglected


Makin sure that

I was protected


They took my blood

With an anonymous number

Two weeks waitin' wonderin'


I shoulda done this a long time ago

A lot of excuses why I couldn't go

I know these things and these things I must know

'cause it's better to know than to not know!


[Chorus]


I go home to kick it

In my apartment

I try to give myself

A risk assessment

The wait is what can really annoy ya

Every single day is more paranoya


I'm readin' about how it gets transmitted

Some behavior I must admit it

With who I slept with, and who they slept with,

Who they, who they, who they slept with


When I think about life and immortality

What's the first thing I do if I'm H.I.V

I have a cry and tell my mother

Get on the phone and call my past lovers

I never thought about infectin' anotha

The times that I said Hmmm? Don't bother.


Was it really all that magic?

The times I didn't use a prophalactic


Would my whole life have to change?

Or my whole life remained the same?

Sometimes it makes me wanna shout!

All these things too hard to think about

A day to laugh, a day to cry

A day to live and a day to die

'til I find out, I may wonder

But I'm not gonna live my life six feet under


[Chorus]
