"Slipped Away (And So Did My Spine)"

(Verse 1) I was walking home in the winter cold, Thought I had my balance, I was feeling bold. Then the ground said, "Not today," And my feet just slipped away. (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the ice was cruel, didn't see it there, One wrong step and I was in the air. Now I'm lying down, can't feel my toes, Doctor says, "Boy, that’s how it goes." (Chorus) I slipped away, and so did my spine, Gravity won, now I'm out of time. Lying here, staring at the sky, Thinking 'bout the days when I could still stand high. (Verse 2) Used to dance, used to run so free, Now a wheelchair’s rolling me. All my dreams, they cracked in two, Just like my poor vertebrae do. (Bridge) Oh, be careful where you tread, One small slip and you’ll be stuck in bed. Life's a joke and fate’s unkind, But at least I’ve got some painkillers to ease my mind. (Chorus – Repeat) I slipped away, and so did my spine, Gravity won, now I'm out of time. Lying here, staring at the sky, Thinking 'bout the days when I could still stand high. (Outro – Fading Out) So if you see ice, just walk away, Or you might end up like me today. Tell my legs I said goodbye, Guess I’ll just learn how to fly.
