Someone has to set up the fact that there is something nasty all over the floor.Hence why being pushed there was so bad...

this is SO much fun...GREAT idea, Suz.Seems to me this ought to be a male vocal. I just don't hear a woman singing these lyrics... No matter. Can't WAIT to hear the next stage...
