In a Muddle

Fell again today
Didn’t see the puddle
Fell deep and got wet
My heads in a muddle

Got out and couldn’t see
Where I was headed
Blinded by water
And started pretendin’

That I knew where I was
Going
And didn’t need any help
That my way was the right way
I was sick, yet thought I’m well

Fell for it again
And didn’t see it coming
Saw a flash of light
Thought, ‘ain’t that something?’

Fell again today
Didn’t see the puddle
Fell deep and got wet
My heads in a muddle
