Call Before Dying
Are you okay?
Yes, yes I'm fine, just fine.
Are your doors locked?
Windows closed?
Are you safe?
Yes, yes I'm fine
Everything's alright
You sound different,
are you stressed?
Cold or tired?
Depressed?
Good God!
Sick?
Are you coming down with fever?
The flu is running rampant!
It's dangerous, you know
No, no, I'm fine!
I promise I'm fine!
How's the area?
Poor? Rich?
White? Black?
Is it safe?
Is your phone on?
911 on speed dial?
No, no, I'm safe I'm fine!
It's one week
I'll call you tomorrow
Call before
Or if anything happens
I want to be the first to know.
