In 2002 I went to the beach
Isle of Palms, South Carolina
And we stayed there for one week
In a condo with a pool

My feet were dangling in chlorinated water
My shins lapped by the waves
From the older kids doing belly flops

"Hey kid in the blue trunks, I dare you to do one!"
I had to prove I'm not a wus,
So I took a running go
Chickened out
I tucked my knees, tilted forward
And I hit my head

I hit my head glad I'm not dead, I hit my head glad I'm not dead
I hit my head glad I'm not dead, I hit my head glad I'm not dead.

And I saw stars, and I saw stars

I was lying on the beach chair
With a knot on my noggin swelling up
Grateful that I did not have to be
fished out of the water

I was dazed but not confused
If I gave myself a concussion,
It was a mild one

I'm not in the mood to swim anymore

Head First
Lichen Throat

Tell me, where is fancy bred,
In the heart or in the head?
When will victory become clear
Between the battling hemispheres?
Apollo’s rocket took us to the moon
Sent a voyager to Neptune.
But Dionysus could play the funk
Before he finally passed out drunk.
Head first, heart next.
Be immersed in the complex.
Head first, heart next.
Reverse the context.

Remember the car you had to own,
Giant payments on a five-year loan?
Or the party girl with expensive taste
Who ran away after thirteen dates?
What about the $6000 guitar
You smashed onstage at the local bar?
Or the leaf-filled swimming pool
The kids don’t use when they’re home from school?
Head first, heart next.
Be immersed in the complex.
Head first, heart next.
Reverse the context.

There’s no beauty without truth,
No joy in the impulse of youth.
No one cries more than a tiny child
Yet to fill his empty mind.
Saying that you have no regrets
Means you don’t understand it yet.
You haven’t loved until you know what you love,
You haven’t loved until you know what you love
Head first, heart next.
Be immersed in the complex.
Head first, heart next.
Reverse the context.

Midnight, I can't seem to unwind
Got this feeling
Can't stop dreaming
That you're there

Your smile in the back of my mind
It's so heavy
I can't stay steady
But I don't care

Falling head first, head first into you
Can't think of nothing worse, nothing worse I could do
It's a game, all the waiting
It's a shame that you're playing
It's like a curse, like a curse, what to do
I just wanna know, do you thirst for me too
'Cause your body is calling
And I can't keep from falling head first into you

Your name on the tip of my tongue
You know I'm crushing
But you give me nothing
Just leave me there

I know that you're not the one
And I will never
Be your forever
But I don't care

Falling head first, head first into you
Can't think of nothing worse, nothing worse I could do
It's a game, all the waiting
It's a shame that you're playing
It's like a curse, like a curse, what to do
I just wanna know, do you thirst for me too
'Cause your body is calling
And I can't keep from falling head first into you

And all I really all I really all I really wanna do
Is get a taste of you
And I will never please don't ever no I'll never say I love you

Falling head first, head first into you
Can't think of nothing worse, nothing worse I could do
It's a game, all the waiting
It's a shame that you're playing
It's like a curse, like a curse, what to do
I just wanna know, do you thirst for me too
'Cause your body is calling
And I can't keep from falling head first into you

Falling head first, head first into you
Can't think of nothing worse, nothing worse I could do
It's a game, all the waiting
It's a shame that you're playing
It's like a curse, like a curse, what to do
I just wanna know, do you thirst for me too
'Cause your body is calling
And I can't keep from falling head first into you

Head First - Paco del Stinko

You gotta get down to get up
Work it around give it enough

Head first head first
Head first head first
You gotta get down


Stand up straight you better bet
If you keep up the pace you're gonna get wet you better bet

You gotta give it to get it
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Rush head first
Into a fight
tell me I'm wrong
but I made things right
Don't disapprove it's ok
It's gonna be ok

When you told me the story
of what happened that night
my heart filled with rage
there were tears in my eyes
Why has this happened again
Not again

Many years later
still locked away
I don't have regret
for what I did that day
It's not gonna happen again
no not again

When you told me the story
of what happened that night
my heart filled with rage
there were tears in my eyes
It's not gonna happen again
Not again

It's not gonna happen again
Not again

I'm cleaning out my gutters,
Getting all the leaves and clutter
With a chainsaw, a chainsaw,
Up on the roof with my chainsaw.
I'm trimming up my lawn,
Get all the leaves and twigs picked up
With a flamethrower, a flamethrower,
I'm not sure how to use this flamethrower
I'm a handyman
Safety Last, Head First
Such a handsome handyman
And I don't need no helmut

I'm putting in a bathtub,
Getting all the leaves and grout
With a jackhammer, a jackhammer,
I'm jacking everywhere on accident
I'm building a mancave,
First I gotta sweep up all these leaves
With a bulldozer, a bulldozer,
I can't turn off this bulldozer
I'm a handyman
Look ma, no head
A big ol'beefy handyman
And I don't need no permits

Head First
All The Robots

You put your pants on one leg at a time
But not me, not me
You’ll dip a toe to check the temperature’s fine
But not me, not me

You sit and blow on your cocoa
I gulp it all down in just one go
‘Cause I’m all out, balls out, no doubt,
Careless and hasty; no safety

(Head first)
You’re waiting while I’m already there
(Head first)
Life’s short, there’s not a moment to spare
(Head first)
Life’s miserable, uncool and unfair
So go face the universe,
get there head first

You see so many people dragging their feet
But not me, not me
Looking both ways before they cross that street
well not me, not me
You’re strategizing every step of the way
I’m a berserker charging into the fray
‘Cause I’m all out, balls out, no doubt,
no need to check this; I’m reckless

(Head first)
You’re still waiting while I’m already there
(Head first)
Life’s short, there’s not a moment to spare
(Head first)
I don't stop to think or check my hair
And I've been like this since birth
I came out head first

I even volunteered to go to the stars
Instead they sent a stupid robot helicopter to Mars
But it's okay, no pain, don't say
I get depressed, no; I make the best, yo

(Head first)
While you're looking I just go on and leap
(Head first)
Got things cooking up while you're still asleep
(Head first)
Don't know if the water's shallow or deep
But for better or for worse
I dive in headfirst

Every time I walk into the place
I dive head first at unlimited breadsticks
Olive garden eat em up I got to get my fill
eating up those sticks till a waiter grabs my bill

They're not even good breadsticks
Maybe I should stay home

Head First
By Mandibles

I woke into a vivid dream
that fell through a fold in reality
and showed me the earth without land or sea
just the people’s souls in an endless stream
the souls were humming a vibrant song
that fell and rose as the tides would come
rushing onward always forward
Chaos ordered falling over
Into a place where their faces and spaces are nought
And they’re falling headfirst into the end

When I fell back to reality
The song had left me its melody
The headlines singing a parody
The voices raised in cacophony
Imagined lines on the map were strained
As the borders break in a jagged chain
The people humming, bright flash thrumming,
Frozen moment, atoms foment
Into horizons that pull out the light from our eyes
And we’re falling headfirst into the end

Head First - The Magnetic Letters

Head first - don't make me say it out loud
The lump in my throat is speaking for both of us

Anton, wonderful man you have brought
Light to this world
The injustice has shaken me

Head first

My beautiful boy, when we first met
I cried in spite of myself
Know whatever comes you will be loved

Head first into the ashes we run
Hades replies "There's plenty for everyone"

Head-first
(J. Bennett)

I was naked,
in the fluid.
I was tethered,
I was drowning.

I remember crowning.
(so this is how it ends...)

I was floating,
breathing water.
Came out kicking.
Came out screaming.

Oh, I must be dreaming.
(Could someone turn this light off?)

This part's the worst.
I came out head-first.

Am I floating?
Am I sinking?
Am I growing?
Am I shrinking?

Dare you to stop thinking,
and just ride the wave.

Am I sinking?
Am I floating?
Am I shrinking?
Am I growing?

God, I hate now knowing.
Gotta just ride the wave.

Dying of thirst,
I came out head-first.
