[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

[01:35.63]

[01:45.32]He didn't know what he was saying
[01:49.01]
[01:52.68]He could hardly understand

[02:03.36]That he was only talking to

[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

[02:59.58]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

[03:39.70]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

Jagged jigsaw pieces
Tossed about the room
I saw my grandma sweeping
With her old straw broom
She didn't know what she was doing
She could hardly understand
That she was really sweeping up..
Pieces of a man
I saw my daddy greet the mailman
And I heard the mailman say
Now don't you take
this letter to heart now Jimmy
Cause they've laid off nine others today
He didn't know what he was saying
He could hardly understand
That he was only talking to
Pieces of a man
I saw the thunder and heard the lightning!
And felt the burden of his shame
And for some unknown reason
He never turned my way
Pieces of that letter
Were tossed about that room
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Come knifing through the gloom
They don't know what they are doing
They could hardly understand
That they're only arresting
Pieces of a man
I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
He was always such a good man
He was always such a strong man
Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
