Oh, the faucet started drippin' in the kitchen
Last night your picture fell down from the wall
And today the boss said, sorry, son
I can't use you any more
And tonight the light bulb went out in the hall
Ooh, things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothin' turns out half right, now, it seems
There ain't nothin' in my pockets
But three nickels and a dime And I'm holdin' to the pieces of my dreams
Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favorite chair today
Oh, the man called me today
Said he'd haul my things away
If I didn't get my payments made by ten
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Now nothin' turns out half right now, it seems
There ain't nothin' in my pockets
But three nickels and a dime
And I'm holdin' to the pieces of my dreams
