I was slicing up an avocado When you came up behind me With your silent brand-new sneakers Your reflection I did not see It was the hottest day in August We were heading for the sea For a second my mind started drifting You put your arms around me You put your arms around me You put your arms around Blood spraying on the kitchen-sink "What's this" I have time to think I see the tip of my index finger My mind is slowly creating a link From your mouth speaks your lovely voice The softest words ever spoken What's broken can always be fixed What's fixed will always be broken You put your arms around me You put your arms around me You put your arms around me You put your arms around I must have passed out on the porch Dreamt I was carried in a kangaroo's pouch When I wake up I'm in the waiting room On a dirty hospital couch My hand is wrapped in toilet paper And my body's wrapped in debris You're sitting next to me reading a paper I put your arm around me
