Lyrics
Heart Attack
By Ted Horrell
It’ll sneak up on you when you think it’s been asleep for quite some time
Lying like a gypsy in the shadows while you trouble with your mind
And it’s been so long since it last happened that you feel just like a mark
How this thing that you discounted so long ago still have a spark?
Here come a heart attack
And it isn’t long before the rest of your facilities comply
Pitiful surrender from the ones on which you usually rely
And if you could know what sets if off you would be able to prepare
But you never know
Here come a heart attack
And it isn’t hard for you to see that you’re not really in control
Let your head believe what it wants to but in the back somewhere it knows
That the thing that’s driving you can stop you dead, yes sir, right in your tracks
And you wonder why you find that it’s impossible to just relax
Here come a heart attack
