1
When I rose from a heavy sleep
2
I was stepping lightly
3
And I put on my gray suit
4
And the matching fedora
5
Ready to face the world
6
Fairly nearly ready
7
Came down the hallway
8
Looked in the mirror
9
I'm gonna break Something
10
I'm gonna break Something
11
Today
12
And sweep all the pieces away
13
And I stood before the mirror then
14
Like I was waiting for a phone call
15
Squinting like a lost traveler in a thick fog
16
But nothing clear came into view
17
Except for you
18
Just off in the distant horizon
19
Something hidden in your hand
20
I'm gonna break something
21
I'm gonna break something
22
Today
23
And sweep all the pieces away
24
So I pulled my hat brim down over my eyes
25
And preened and posed and tried my new self on for size
26
Then I was out the door in the faint winter sunlight
27
Just a number in the crowd smiling at everyone
28
Ah but who'd smile back at a face like that?
29
I'm gonna break something
30
I'm gonna break something
31
Today
32
And sweep all the pieces away
the mountain goats - no children
