it all occurred some time coming
and the fits, fit together
howling, growling, and moaning
within a dissention, the spins
as we take apart our lives
and glue them back again

taking it all apart
tools in hand, unscrew it
turn a page or turn a corner
the pieces fall in place
as parts fall to our floor

maybe we don't need
this old man a fold
for our engine to run
smoother, take it out
let's run without it

tap the top and oil
it up so's it slides
real nice 'n easy
workin' the valves
rods a tappin' cams
hummin' anything I am

she don't feel so good
lemme clean this stuff
strip it out, scrubbed
shiny and knew it now
didn't need her anyhow

that thing I said I'd
always do, I'm through
don't need or want anymore
really can't remember
why I did it before

got her bolted now
we'll turn this screw
and clip these clips
to change, a coin to flip
tinker a new you, askew

now put in the key
and turn me over
I'm all geared up
clutchin' the lights
rumblin' roads into night
