aka "dumb ways to die" but sadder... happy october! it's time to embrace the moodiness of the approaching winter! (an original song by me, played with the lovely Nicole and Evie a few weeks ago when it still felt like summer.)

lyrics!
One could dance on the bed
And fall right out the window
One could misplace one step
And make one’s wife a widow
One could open their arms and get their sleeve stuck in the floor
Of a train that’s leaving Baker Street and never get it out before
It’s too late
One could be quite allergic
To a frightened honeybee
One could find oneself in the path
Of a falling Christmas tree
Getting tangled up in lights and fruits and baubles and acorns
One would squash every gift that one worked just to pay for
It’s too sad
And one would still walk about
And pay to go to music school
One would bother learning things
Investing in expensive tools
One could make such a sound
That’d move an audience to it’s tears,
And then pack up and go home
To count the sum of one’s greatest fears.
