[Verse 1]
I sleep in lat
e
Another day
Oh, what a won
der
Oh, what a was
te
It's a Monday
It's so mundan
e
What exciting
things
Will happen to
day?
The yard is fu
ll of hard rub
bish, it's a m
ess and
I guess the ne
ighbours must
think we run a
meth lab
We should amen
d that
I pull the she
ets back
It's 40 degree
s
And I feel lik
e I'm dying
Life's getting
hard in here
So I do some g
ardening
Anything to ta
ke my mind awa
y from where i
t's 'sposed to
be
The nice lady
next door talk
s of green bed
s
And all the ni
ce things that
she wants to
plant in them
I wanna grow t
omatoes on the
front steps
Sunflowers, be
an sprouts, sw
eet corn and r
adishes
I feel proacti
ve
I pull out wee
ds
All of a sudde
n
I'm having tro
uble breathing
in
I'm having tro
uble breathing
in
I'm having tro
uble breathing
in
I'm having tro
uble breathing

x2
[Verse 2]
My hands are s
haky
My knees are w
eak
I can't seem t
o stand
On my own two
feet
I'm breathing
but I'm wheezi
ng
Feel like I'm
emphysem-in
My throat feel
s like a funne
l
Filled with We
et-Bix and ker
osene and
Oh no, next th
ing I know
They call up t
riple O
I'd rather die
than owe the
hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenali
ne
Straight to th
e heart
I feel like Um
a Thurman
Post-overdosin
g kick start
Reminds me of
the time
When I was rea
lly sick and I
Had too much p
seudoephedrine
and I
Couldn't sleep
at night
Halfway down h
igh street, An
dy looks ambiv
alent
He's probably
wondering what
I'm doing get
ting in an amb
ulance
The paramedic
thinks I'm cle
ver cos I play
guitar
I think she's
clever cos she
stops people
dying
Anaphylactic a
nd super hypoc
hondriactic
Should've stay
ed in bed toda
y
I much prefer
the mundane
I take a hit f
rom
An asthma puff
er
I do it wrong
I was never go
od at smoking
bongs
I'm not that g
ood at breathi
ng in
I'm not that g
ood at breathi
ng in
I'm not that g
ood at breathi
