about

This tune for this is actually based off a melody from a ream I had-- even the first line comes directly from the refrain in my dream. Posted here, for your reading convenience: webloomsage.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/101112-of-all-the-night/ So when I was about to get my second set of wisdom teeth taken out, I recorded the basic structure of this song on the piano before going to sleep so I'd have something to work with. Then, directly after my wisdom teeth removal, I got home with my cheeks stuffed with gauze and wrote lyrics to the instrumental, then gathered everyone around to sing it with me in its current form. I believe it rings true-- even if it wasn't, say, recorded during the removal, or in the office. ... Some other time, perhaps!

lyrics

I feel
Like I'm going to die.
I'm going to die.
I'm gonna die today.
I am going to die. (He is going to die.)
I'm going to die. (He's going to die.)
I'm gonna die today. (He's gonna die today.)

I got my other wisdom teeth out today.
I gotta say,
I'm afraid of hypodermic needles.
For the last nineteen years,
I've avoided ... fine pain and tears,
Opting for no numbing
And no sleeping gas slumb'ring,

Because drills I can manage.
But not in this case!
So I had to face my fear
And take a great big taste
Of sterilized metal in my gums,
And then I went numb,
And I thought it was done,
But suddenly,
On the right side,
As my eyes grew wide,
I felt the urge to complain
In a surge of pain.

Pai-ee-a-ee-ain!

Now I know my sinuses and my soft palette merge,
Resulting in the surge,
Antithesis of anesthetic,
Or maybe I'm a little bit pathetic.
But at least this time,
My tongue isn't swollen,
And the hole in
My mouth is sutured nice.
Suffice to say,
At a future date,

I'm not going to die. (He's not going to die.)
Not going to die.
I just really feel like I'm...
Going to die,
I'm going to die... (He's not going to die.)
But my mouth will heal in five months or less...
