lyrics

I had to go to the doctor again
To get another stitch in my left eyebrow
I thought the pain would be in the fall
That doesn’t matter anyhow
I had to wait in the waiting room
Where all the coughs and slings and sighs
Under the sober clinic lights
Live a life of waiting in line

Well I was wheeled across the hall
Two sliding doors opened and then
I had to limp the rest of the way
But the nurse didn’t mention when
I had to go to the doctor again

I had to go to the doctor again
Guess I got beat up pretty bad
They healed my arms, my face, my legs
But they couldn’t erase the scabs
Of a life growing up in a cotton bud
Playin’ touch footy in a Catholic school
The patron saints of risk and fear
Always debating over the rules

I tried to keep the straightest face
But the stitches had it bent
He said a lot of scary things
But he didn’t mention when
I had to go to the doctor again

I had to go to the doctor again
All the stress too much to take
Who ever thought that a life of silence
Could ever be so prone to break?
I tried so hard to bite my tongue
I had to call up a friend of mine
He said that he would come around
But only ‘cause I had a cast to sign

I felt my fever risin’ high
I had to reach to catch my breath
You’ll never drag me from this chair
Lest in the case of life or death
When there are still two options left
