Slow Drip

cut my feet on the rope course
dragged though the woods by a frightened horse
lost all my feeling when I fell through the ice
regained it in time to be attacked by mice

and every time I thought it couldn't get worse
I'd start to wake up and I
I'd see the nurse
she said, "you checked in with a broken heart
we don't even know where to start...
I just put something in your line
I think you need to wake up
I think you'd better wake up one more time"
one more time

broke my back in a trust fall
thrown from the boat in a sudden squall
I lost a gallon of blood to a vampire bat
then I lost your number to the laundromat

and every time I thought it couldn't get worse
I'd start to wake up and I
I'd hear the nurse
she said, "you checked in with a broken heart
we don't even know where to start...
I just put something in your line
it's starting to drip, it's gonna take its time
the next voice you hear, well it won't be mine
I think you need to wake up
I think you'd better wake up one more time"
one more time
one more time
one more time
