Day Eleven

ACCIDENTALLY WAITING

Accidentally planned on purpose we drive along the

street with no name to the road that goes to nowhere

pero no one really cares they're only here for the ride

they say that taking part is more fun than winning nine

times out of ten everywhere is about two hours or more

from anywhere else in Metro Manila and the heat doesn't

help much pero why would it we pass a dozen restaurants

on every avenue that aren't restaurants at all they are just

hamburger joints with sweet spaghetti pero that's the way

they like it we couldn't live without it they tell me they tell

me lots of things and then change the plans at the last minute

without telling me or when it's too late for me to do anything

about it that's why sometimes I think some things are like an

actual preconceived incident accidentally waiting to happen

Here's another version : 

ACCIDENTALLY WAITING II

Incidents accidentally purposely waiting to happen

We drive up streets with no names looking for the road to nowhere

But no one cares they're only here for the roller coaster ride

The taking part is more fun than winning nine times out of ten

Journeys by car in Metro Manila take two hours or more

The heat is relentless but the air conditioning helps much

We pass by dozens of restaurants on every avenue

American brands not restaurants at all hamburger joints

They all sell Filipino sweet spaghetti 'cos they like it

They tell me things lots of things then change the plans at the last ditch

Without telling me or when it's too late for me to change much

Actually that's why I often sometimes think things are like this

Preconceived incidents accidentally waiting to happen
