i think about all the ways i almost died
dropping copper wire into vat of boiling sulfuric acid
while standing on a pallet suspended above the vat
by an old fork lift that had a hydraulic lift
3 am in the morning no one else around
had i fallen in i am sure it bould have been
a great mystery when they came in the morning and found the forklift but no me
just let me lie down under a starry sky and as the faint light of dawn takes me over to the other life
