Cast Off (Demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got something in my head A plate of steel, oh man, they said I was almost dead I got something in my eye-eye I'd scratch it but the cast has my good hand inside [Verse 2] She's a pretty little catch I like the way her hair fits right inside her nurse's cap Her breath smells like gum Juicy, juicy fruit, if my jaw wasn't wired, I'd have me some [Pre-Chorus] Nothing good happens to me Nothing good happens to me [Chorus] Baby, I'm shakin' when you take care of me But it's alright, yeah it's alright Maybe I'll make it out, we'll just have to see That's alright, yeah it's alright [Verse 3] The sun comes up and shining bright She holds the door as the throng of visitors arrive And when it's dust, she brings me treats The jello's old and warm but her face is young and oh so sweet [Pre-Chorus] And nothing good happens to me Nothing good happens to me, yeah [Chorus] Baby, I'm shakin' when you take care of me But it's alright, yeah it's alri-ight Maybe I'll make it out, we'll just have to see But it's alright, yeah it's alri-ight [Bridge] I will recover in the same way I learned to ride my bike I was five [Instrumental] [Verse 4] The day it finally arrives The cast comes off and I am no longer mummified And there she is but there she goes Another patient rolls in just as the doors swing closed [Pre-Chorus] And nothing good happens to me Nothing good happens to me, yeah [Chorus] Baby, I'm shakin' when you take care of me But it's alright, yeah it's alright Maybe I'll make it out, we'll just have to see That's alright, yeah it's alright Baby, I'm bleedin' and I've broken my knees But it's alright, yeah it's alright Maybe I'll fake it and you won't have to leave And it's alright, yeah it's alright It's alright (Nothing good happens to me) It's alright (Nothing good happens to me) Nothing good happens to me (Nothing good happens to me) Nothing good happens to me
