Watch your mouth
Your speech is slurred enough
That you might swallow your tongue
You'd want to give up the ghost
With a little more poise than that

Or was it god who chokes
In these situations, running late?
No no, he called in, he called in

The hospice is
A relaxing weekend getaway
Where you're a cut above all the rest
Sick and sad patients
On first name basis with all the top physicians

Prescribed pills
To offset the shakes
To offset the pills
You know you should take...
It a day at a time.

That s when you stutter something profound
To the support on the line
And with the way you've been talking
Every word that you said closer to hell
No i just can't help it
To say what everyone else is thinking
Let me state the obvious again

You know you should take..
It a day at a time.

I am
Alone in this bed, house, and head
And she never fixes this
But at least she (makes me forget)
I am
Alone, in this bedroom
She never fixes this
But at least she makes me forget
