(Verse 1) Woke up at 7:03 Supposed to be at work at 6:58 Poured cereal in my coffee Then cried into a slice of Swiss cheese, I admit Shoved on pants—wrong leg first My sock’s on the cat, the cat’s in my purse Left a sticky note on my mirror It said “Breathe” I inhaled too hard and choked on air. Neat. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) I’m a checklist with no ink I’m a planner made of smoke I’m juggling ten flaming bowling pins While everyone’s like “don’t drop the yolk!” ⸻ (Chorus – Ultra Catchy Version) Slippin’! Slidin’! Droppin’ all my plans! Catchin’ dreams with jelly hands! Too much! Can’t stop! I’m a one-girl band! Fallin’ down in glitter sand! Oh no—there it goes again! My to-do list caught the wind! Hey hey—who moved the ground?! Guess I’ll smile while I spiral down! (echo chant:) (Spiral down!) Spiral down! (Smile now!) Smile now! (Whoooa!) Oops again—guess I’m the circus clown! ⸻ (Verse 2) Susan said, “Just breathe and center” But my chakras formed a boy band and left for Denver My to-do list just laughed and ran Wrote “lol good luck, you feral trash can” I said “No big deal, I got this,” Then tripped into a metaphorical mosh pit Of laundry, deadlines, and public shame And someone handed me a baby with my name? ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) I dropped the ball, then picked up twelve Balancing them on a bookshelf shelf Someone yelled, “Don’t lose control!” Too late—I married a raccoon and forgot my soul ⸻ (Chorus – Ultra Catchy) Slippin’! Slidin’! Droppin’ all my plans! Catchin’ dreams with jelly hands! Too much! Can’t stop! I’m a one-girl band! Fallin’ down in glitter sand! Oh no—there it goes again! My to-do list caught the wind! Hey hey—who moved the ground?! Guess I’ll smile while I spiral down! (echo chant:) (Spiral down!) Spiral down! (Smile now!) Smile now! (Whoooa!) Oops again—guess I’m the circus clown! ⸻ (Bridge – Breakdown) I built a ladder out of spoons But the moon laughed and said “not today” I glued my goals to paper dolls They caught fire in a cabaret The pressure’s loud, the timer’s ticking And my confidence just started hissing But I’ll tape it up with rhinestone hope And keep pretending I can cope ⸻ (Final Chorus – BIG finish) Slippin’! Slidin’! Droppin’ all my plans! Catchin’ dreams with jelly hands! Too much! Can’t stop! I’m a one-girl band! Fallin’ down in glitter sand! Oh snap! There it goes again! My last brain cell just hit “send”! Hey hey—who moved the ground?! Guess I’ll smile while I spiral down! (echo chant – layered outro) (Spiral down!) Spiral down! (Jelly hands!) Jelly hands! (Smile now!) Smile now! (Circus clown!) Circus clown!
