[00:17.25]Jagged jigsaw pieces
[00:24.42]Tossed about the room
[00:27.48]
[00:31.35]I saw my grandma sweeping
[00:34.47]
[00:38.21]With her old straw broom
[00:44.82]She didn't know what she was doing
[00:48.00]
[00:51.94]She could hardly understand
[00:57.49]
[01:03.67]That she was really sweeping up..
[01:06.60]
[01:10.91]Pieces of a man
[01:13.21]
[01:17.08]I saw my daddy greet the mailman
[01:21.08]
[01:24.13]And I heard the mailman say
[01:27.26]
[01:31.07]Now don't you take
[01:32.13]this letter to heart now Jimmy
[01:35.63]
[01:38.59]Cause they've laid off nine others today
[01:41.89]
[01:45.32]He didn't know what he was saying
[01:49.01]
[01:52.68]He could hardly understand
[01:57.87]
[02:03.36]That he was only talking to
[02:07.85]
[02:11.53]Pieces of a man
[02:14.09]
[02:17.27]I saw the thunder and heard the lightning!
[02:20.58]
[02:24.01]And felt the burden of his shame
[02:28.38]
[02:31.31]And for some unknown reason
[02:35.19]
[02:38.55]He never turned my way
[02:42.11]
[02:46.73]Pieces of that letter
[02:49.16]
[02:53.59]Were tossed about that room
[02:56.15]
[02:59.58]And now I hear the sound of sirens
[03:03.45]
[03:06.64]Come knifing through the gloom
[03:10.13]
[03:13.81]They don't know what they are doing
[03:17.92]
[03:20.86]They could hardly understand
[03:25.79]
[03:31.66]That they're only arresting
[03:35.21]
[03:39.70]Pieces of a man
[03:43.01]
[03:46.32]I saw him go to pieces
[03:49.63]
[03:53.18]I saw him go to pieces
[03:57.37]
[04:00.30]He was always such a good man
[04:03.35]
[04:07.16]He was always such a strong man
[04:11.53]
[04:13.84]Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
[04:17.77]
[04:20.64]I saw him go to pieces
