Knocked the Wind Right out of Me

He said ‘I wonder when the red glove will hit me this week’

Wallop and wind me, slump my grand physique

Through a blanket of white noise the sun felt weak

Where a spot-lit man just tries not to misspeak

Wandering around just a conveyor belt

Shuffling the five jokers I’ve been dealt

And his head’s practically dragging ‘long the felt

While sleepwalking through a too far gone sun-belt

Knock the wind right out of me and

Knock the wind right out of me and

Knock the wind right out of me and oh

The car’s slinking over the horizon out of view

And it only looks vibrant ‘cos you’re passing through

Overwrought you got a lot to live up to

‘Cos they’ll be chopping down the trees for a more pleasant view

Knock the wind right out of me and

Knock the wind right out of me and

Knock the wind right out of me and oh

He said ‘I wonder when the red glove will hit me this week’

Wallop and wind me, slump my grand physique

Through a blanket of white noise the sun felt weak

Where a spot-lit man just tries not to misspeak
