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
