Scene 48

Sometimes I think that I can do anything

But then I sit down and I qualitatively analyze

My acute sense of awareness for my environmental surroundings

And I realize I’m not as cool as my doctor prescribes

I’d like to think that I’m worthy of your attention

But I haven’t earned much of anything

Every evening I crawl in bed

And in my head I question the words spoken to me

Maybe 5 years isn’t too much to ask

How old I act isn’t enough for you to take me seriously?

All the knots wedged into my spine

Keep me in line a little pain never hurt anybody

I like to walk standing pretty tall but I’m going to fall

If my eyes leave the ground in front of me

It's pretty easy to slip on some ice

And it isn’t nice to fall down hard on Milwaukee

Cap it off and take the loss

A good captain goes down with his ship and a saw in hand

Carpentry was never much of his thing

But if he wanted to live, this was his last chance
