Lyrics

Well his father died in childbirth
At least it seemed that way to his mother
There'd been so many in between
That he could hardly tell the one from the other
Last thing they needed was a young upstart
Saying how much it hurts when a dream dies hard
As if when it happened to them
They weren't caught off guard
But he can't put it back together
He can only get this far
The pieces he can never find
Them right between his brain and his heart, he knows
Well maybe all that plastic furniture
Leaves some kind of residual effect
He's sure she said she'd never let him stick a hurt
Night after night he cries and cries
And thinks about the ways he's been victimized
He tells all his friends that he's just out for the ride
But he's a tumbleweed caught on the bump
But he can't put it back together
He can only get this far
The pieces he can never find
Them right between his brain and his heart, he knows
With her hair in curlers
The ex-baton twirlers are hanging their clothes on a line
He can't be trusted, fingers still dusty
Another afternoon peeking through the blinds
He looks in the mirror a couple times a year
And he wonders if someday
A big enough truck will come along
Maybe to haul this wife back away
Just seeing plates on a car from out of state
Is enough to make him wonder
About the chain of events that led to this state of affairs
That he's stuck under
And the kind of changes that occur
To account for the differences there are
He wants to put it back together
He never dreamed it would be so hard
But he can't put it back together
He can only get this far
The pieces he can never find
Them right between his brain and his heart, he knows
