Living's like a jigsaw And the farther in you go If you're missing pieces Never really know When you're ticking like a timepiece On which you can rely Wonder why you wind it When you're running out of time
Sometimes there's a danger Of choking on the parts No one gave a warning To the breaking of your heart Pick up all the pieces And go back to the start Never losing, only using all your moving parts All your moving parts
Living's supposed to kill you But it shouldn't feel like dying Loving's supposed to fill you But it spills you like your wine And all the paper people Wandering about Wondering who made them And who's gonna cut them out
Sometimes there's a danger Of choking on the parts No one gave a warning To the breaking of your heart Pick up all the pieces And go back to the start Never losing, only using all your moving parts All your moving parts
And even in the morning When the sun's behind the clouds In the state you're born in In the state that you're in now Even if the roof is leaking It's still above your head Just remember two words That the two birds never said
Sometimes there's a danger Of choking on the parts No one gave a warning To the breaking of your heart Pick up all the pieces And go back to the start Never losing, only using all your moving parts All your moving parts
