Careful As You Go

Stay low, careful as you go

If everybody's harmless then there ain't no way to know

Sleep tight, i'm sure you'll be alright

You might feel a little better come tomorrow

But morning's like a walk

Into a blunt narcotic fog

Until you're brought back to your senses by

Eight wheels nearing a dog that's dead or

Sleeping pills

I hear hunters in the hills

They'll only catch a chill

Before the sun goes down

Stage fright

Is proof that nothing's right

Like bird calls on the morning

Of a hopeless sleepless night

Infirm, the outside is a worm

That just slithers on in blindness

If you convert or you learn

Stay low, careful as you go

You won't know yourself tomorrow morning

And who would ever dream

That a laptop and caffeine

Could leave you colder than the voice

Inside an answering machine

Oh no, you don't ever leave the fold

You think your work is done

But then you still have to get old

Twenty-three

Do you remember me?

We went to school together

But that's ancient history

Stay low, careful as you go

I have never been so frightened

I did not count on getting close

Keep cheer, the end is drawing near

And i will be with you before you know it

I'll be knee deep in long grass

And there's a snake in there who turns and then

I cut off all his heads

But he don't ever seem to learn, man i am

Dead beat, i really need to eat

The old man walked ok

But then we tied him round his feet

She reads my emails

Back home in New South Wales

I have a feeling somewhat disbelieving

Stay low, careful as you go

If there's something worse than street fighting

I'd really like to know

Stay put, shelter here a bit

I will be with you

Before you know it
