PIECES OF ME © 2002 Acoustic Ross

It’s time I got my ass in gear
I don’t have the stomach for this business
It’s been six weeks since you were here
And now my heart’s not in this

I’ve got one foot in the grave
but the rest of me might be saved
Baby I go to pieces when you’re around

Butterflies in my stomach, both hands on the wheel
What happened to my nerves of steel?
My foot in the door, my lips are still sealed
My head up my ass is still technically head over heels

I grease my hair with Crisco*
I left my heart in San Francisco
Baby I go to pieces when you’re around

(EKG solo)

I bury my head in the sand
and all my combat’s hand to hand
Baby I go to pieces when you’re around

Now I’ve got my head in the game
Got my nose to the grindstone, and I’ll shoulder the blame
It’s all in my head, but my head’s in a vice
I’d lift a finger, but it wouldn’t be nice

So you can kiss my ass in traction
my body of work is out of action
Baby I go to pieces when you’re around

I asked you to remember me
you thought I said “dismember me”
Baby I go to pieces when you’re around

You took my hand
You stole my heart
You buried the rest in a box in the yard
Baby I go to pieces when you’re around.


* sorry, I very apologize for this line.
