Stay low, careful as you go If everybody's harmless then there ain't no way to know Sleep tight, i'm sure you'll be alright You might feel a little better come tomorrow But morning's like a walk Into a blunt narcotic fog Until you're brought back to your senses by Eight wheels nearing a dog that's dead or Sleeping pills I hear hunters in the hills They'll only catch a chill Before the sun goes down Stage fright Is proof that nothing's right Like bird calls on the morning Of a hopeless sleepless night Infirm, the outside is a worm That just slithers on in blindness If you convert or you learn Stay low, careful as you go You won't know yourself tomorrow morning And who would ever dream That a laptop and caffeine Could leave you colder than the voice Inside an answering machine Oh no, you don't ever leave the fold You think your work is done But then you still have to get old Twenty-three Do you remember me? We went to school together But that's ancient history Stay low, careful as you go I have never been so frightened I did not count on getting close Keep cheer, the end is drawing near And i will be with you before you know it I'll be knee deep in long grass And there's a snake in there who turns and then I cut off all his heads But he don't ever seem to learn, man i am Dead beat, i really need to eat The old man walked ok But then we tied him round his feet She reads my emails Back home in New South Wales I have a feeling somewhat disbelieving Stay low, careful as you go If there's something worse than street fighting I'd really like to know Stay put, shelter here a bit I will be with you Before you know it
