Nice Stangers
Two years ago I was stranded in Great Falls MT. Lost my part time job, wallet stolen from my car, no ID, debit card, credit card, checks stolen, car registration, proof of insurance, clothes, coat. It was very cold, everything gone. I decide to go see Chicken Little the movie, with the last of my money, and some spare change acquired from a stranger. It is nice to know that I am not the only nice stranger. Thinking at least there will be people there, and warm. I entered the theater, and it was completely empty, no one was there, just me, empty. I watched Chicken Little in a empty theater, just me, no one else. When Chicken Little sang his little song. (Artist: Barenaked Ladies: Song: One Little Slip) I cried for rest of the movie. Sometimes everything comes to an expected end.
It was a recipe for disaster
A four course meal of no sorry
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me
It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over reaction
I assume you know the rest
(Chorus)
One little slip, One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I guess I probably took the wrong direction
Well I admit I might have missed a sign or two
I ran a light past your effection
And humiliation never knew
Took a right turn at confusion
A left when I shoulda gone straight on threw
I ran ahead with my assumptions
We all know what that can do
(Chorus)
I get the felling in this town
I’ll never live till I live down the one mistake that seams to follow me around
But they’ll forget about the sky
When they all realize the sky is trying to fly on ith ground
It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over reaction
I assume you know the rest
One little slip, One little slip
It was a humble little stumble
With a big un-graceful…
