Poems and Prose by Tim Fox

  • Careful With Me

    Be careful with me
    I’ve set a bad example
    Be careful with me
    I might tear out your heart
    Be careful with me
    I may rip down your temple
    Be careful with me
    I’ll stop before I start


    The things I’ve done
    I wouldn’t recommend ’em
    The things I’ve done
    Are advisable to no one
    The things I’ve done
    Are from the lion’s den
    The things I’ve done
    Make me the prodigal son


    In that old tale
    They welcome him with kisses
    In that old tale
    They killed the fatted calf
    In that old tale
    They gave him loaves and fishes
    In that old tale
    They cut the kid in half


    So be careful with me
    I really don’t know nothin’
    Be careful with me
    I live by sleight of hand
    Be careful with me
    My words are really somethin’
    Be careful with me
    I’ll fill your eyes with sand
