Sick Muse lyrics:
Watch out Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
And let me live my life
You better watch out Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life
The one I'd better lead
All the blondes are fantasies
And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me," and looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C
Everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody just wanna play the lead
Watch out Cupid
Money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out
And let me live my life
She said, "I'm with stupid"
Money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life
The one I'd better lead
All the blondes are fantasies
And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me," and looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C
Everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody just wanna play the lead
Sick Muse written by Emily Haines / James Shaw / Gavin Brown

Metric official bio:
The vinyl artwork for Metric's new album, Formentera, includes a motto that sums up the past few years: This Is What Happened. It’s an understatement that manages to say everything.
Even real places become imaginary when they are so far out of reach. Named for an idyllic island near Ibiza off the coast of Spain, Formentera is a place that, for Metric, only existed on a page in a “dream destinations” travel book that lay open on a desk in the new recording studio that guitarist Jimmy Shaw built in 2020, in a rural hamlet north of Toronto. This is the setting where the band’s eighth album took shape.
Metric’s sound is both genre-defying and genre-defining. Emily Haines, Jimmy Shaw, bassist Joshua Winstead and drummer Joules Scott Key started playing together in NYC in 2001. They are just getting started.
"One of the high points of 2022 for us has been working on putting everything together for The Doomscroller Tour," says Emily Haines. "We're crafting a set list based on fan favorites including deep cuts from Live It Out & Old World and it's been wild to see how the new songs from Formentera flow with the classics from Fantasies & Synthetica. I'm really happy with the venues we chose, they suit the lighting and sonics and the whole mood of the show we're crafting. I want Metric fans to have the best concert experience possible and feel like they got to escape into another reality with us for the evening. Can't wait to get this show on the road!"
