Climbing out of open windows,
Crashing down from broken stairs,
Keeping watch on smoking cinders,
Falling over burning chairs

Tossed and crossed, and screwed in transit
Broken, splintered, bruised and thrown
Badly shattered, gale forced frighty,
Rushed across and shown alone

Speech reduced by poor relations
strung from weeks of self-abused,
chopped up, churned out, weeks of greazy
Spark plugs burnt up power's fused
