Cast Off Songtext
von Louden Swain

I got something in my head
A plate of steel, oh, man, they said I was almost dead
I got something in my eye
I′d scratch it, but the cast has my good hand inside

She's a pretty little catch
I like the way her hair fits right inside her nurse′s cap
Her breath smells like gum
Juicy, juicy fruit, if my jaw wasn't wired I'd have me some
Nothing good happens to me
Nothing good happens to me, yeah

Baby, I′m shaking when you take care of me, but it′s alright
Yeah, it's alright
Maybe I′ll make it out, we'll just have to see that it′s alright
Yeah, it's alright


The sun comes up and I′m alive
She holds the door as the throng of visitors arrive
And when it's dust she brings me treats
The jello's old and warm but her face is young and oh so sweet
Nothing good happens to me
Nothing good happens to me

Baby, I′m shaking when you take care of me, but it′s alright
Yeah, it's alright
Maybe I′ll make it out, we'll just have to see, yeah, it′s alright
Yeah, it's alright

I will recover in the same way
I learned to ride my bike
I was five!

The day it finally arrives
The cast comes off and I am no longer mummified
And there she is but there she goes
Another patient rolls in just as the door swings closed
And nothing good happens to me
Nothing good happens to me, yeah


Baby, I′m shaking when you take care of me, but it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
Maybe I′ll make it out, we′ll just have to see, that it's alright
Yeah, it′s alright
Baby, I'm bleeding and I′ve broken my knees but it's alright
Yeah, it′s alright
Baby, I'm faking and I won't have to leave and it′s alright
Yeah, it′s alright

It's alright (nothing good happens to me)
It′s alright (nothing good happens to me)
Nothing good happens to me (nothing good happens to me)
I wish that something good would happen to me, yeah
Yeah
