a handshake of carbon monoxide

I am having one of those moments (past 3+ day's) where a song is forcefully lodged in my consciousness. Not matter what I am doing or where I am at, the song is playing over and over again in my head. This is really starting to alter the way I am perceiving and experiencing daily activities. Thankfully it happens to be a great song created by one of my, if not my favorite artists, Radiohead. Anyway here it is . . .

No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.

I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden.
No alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
