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 today
11
And sweep all the pieces away
12
And I stood before the mirror then
13
Like I was waiting for a phone call
14
Squinting like a lost traveler in a thick fog
15
But nothing clear came into view
16
Except for you
17
Just off in the distant horizon
18
Something hidden in your hand
19
I’m gonna break something
20
I’m gonna break something today
21
And sweep all the pieces away
22
So I pulled my hat brim down over my eyes
23
And preened and posed and tried my new self on for size
24
Then I was out the door in the faint winter sunlight
25
Just a number in the crowd smiling at everyone
26
Oh but who’d smile back at a face like that?
27
I’m gonna break something
28
I’m gonna break something today
29
And sweep all the pieces away
