This song was written while my father was undergoing triple bypass
surgery. It was a hectic, surreal scene. The whole situation almost
seemed like a play. It was everything I imagined it would be, (the
sounds, the smells, the reactions etc...). At any rate, my Dad was
given a 2 % chance to survive the operation and he pulled through
with flying colors. Not his idea of a relaxing vacation, but he met
some kind, caring people and lost a ton of weight. Now if he could
only keep that weight off... Ole’ weight of nature keeps calling...

lyrics

IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN TO ME

Got a cemented bed
Got a plate in my head
I got a room with x-ray eyes
Got a drug pushin’ crew
Got a horse made of glue
And I got a laugh that suffers and cries
Well it could only happen - happen to me
It could only happen - happen to me
Got a vinyl knit suit
Got a violated root
I got some clamps that fit me tight
Got a shut up request
Got a dummy up test
I got some food I can’t even describe!

When the flash light dies and the sheets get dry
Mother Mary doesn’t look the same
There’s a big black chair I remember well
And the way I used to scream your name
So what if I should choke to death on frozen cherries?
I own the plot next to the love I buried there!
Yeah it could only happen to me - well it could only happen...

(A David Sanborn rip off plays here while the singer tries to cough up a cherry)

Yeah, it could only happen - happen to me
Well, it could only happen - happen to me
It could only happen etc...
