Early Warnings

Straight out of bed
I smashed my head
On a bookshelf
Such an early hour
I tripped in the shower
On a bar
Of soap
Having trouble with my tights
I concede to make things right
Such a mess
Almost choked on my toothbrush
Much too much
Such a mess
The night cut my finger
The pain seems to linger
A bloody mess
I fall back to my face
There was no sign of grace
In the hallway
Swaggered up and on through trauma
I just missed it goddamn-a
I start working
I slipped on a leaf
There’s no end to this grief
I keep walking
(One more day to call with warning)
Nosebleeds, headbumps, broken noses
Bruises and cotton strings
Nosebleeds, and headbumps, and broken noses
Bruises and cotton strings and cuts
(Pa pa paa paa pa pa)
