Cast Off - Louden Swain

I got something in my head

A plate of steel

Oh yeah they said I was almost dead

I got something in my eye

I’d scratch it

But the cast has my good hand inside

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

And nothing good happens to me

Yeah nothing good happens to me

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

It’s alright, yeah it’s alright

The sun comes up and I’m alive

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

And nothing good happens to me

Yeah nothing good happens to me

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

It’s alright, yeah it’s alright

I will recover in the same way

I learned to ride my bike

I was five!

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 door swings closed

And nothing good happens to me

Yeah nothing good happens to me

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

It’s alright, yeah it’s alright
