I live in fear
Of strangers taking over
Living near
To painters painting over
All the cracks
That live in my foundations
Take an axe
To my gaps in concentration
Leave the wheel
I’ll lose it merrily
I’ll try to feel
As the piano falls on me….. again
I’m breaking mirrors over you
I lose again
The poker tree swears at me
I guess again
The answer’s not to be
I’ll see your dice
Keep my cards in desperation
Pay the price
For my gaps in concentration
Lead the way
I’ll lose it merrily
I’ll seize the day
The piano falls on me…. Again
I’m breaking mirrors over you
A rabbit’s foot
Would save me from my own
A sharp shotput
I’ll take it out on loan
A wishing well
It will only wish you well
It’s time to sell
This clover and it’s time to go to…
Hell, I know
This horse shoe’s not for me
I’ll take the blow
As the piano falls on me….. again
I’m breaking mirrors over, I’m breaking mirrors over you
