(S. Page/E. Robertson)
I woke up yesterday morning
Fell down two flights of stairs
Well, I thought I was wide awake
but my legs were still asleep.
Nine one one ambulance help me
but I can`t reach the phone.
So I scream `til the neighbors come over
break into my home.
I broke my back
There was nobody there to help me.
Broke my back
All the lies and deception won`t change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass
I wish this had happened skydiving
that my parachute failed,
but a pair of shoes tripped me downstairs
and I lay there and wailed.
Those things I used to take for granted
now I take sitting down.
I can`t brush my teeth, chew my nails,
give the finger to a clown.
I broke my back
and I can`t even change the channels
Broke my back
All the lies and deception won`t change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass
Well, they tell me that I shouldn`t get discouraged,
but they tell me that I`ll never walk again.
And they say I`m gonna need a lot of courage,
and they say I`m gonna need a lot of friends.
But what I really need is a pair of electric legs,
so I wish some genius would just invent them.
And if they cost too much, I`d share with someone else
or I would scour the yellow pages and I`d rent them.
I know I can probably pop a wheelie,
entertaining the kids
I can put on the cards in the spokes
I can even blow skids
I get a good seat at a concert,
even get stuff for free.
Is it cause I`m an excellent guy,
or cause they`re scared of me?
I broke my back
and I can`t even use the clapper
Broke my back
All the lies and deception won`t change the perception
All the lies and deception won`t change the perception
the lies and deception won`t change the perception that
