The Mountain Goats — Going Invisible

[Verse 1] When I rose from a heavy sleep I was stepping lightly And I put on my gray suit And the matching fedora Ready to face the world Fairly nearly ready Came down the hallway Looked in the mirror [Chorus] I'm gonna break something I'm gonna break something today And sweep all the pieces away [Verse 2] And I stood before the mirror then Like I was waiting for a phone call Squinting like a lost traveler in a thick fog But nothing clear came into view Except for you Just off in the distant horizon Something hidden in your hand [Chorus] I'm gonna break something I'm gonna break something today And sweep all the pieces away [Verse 3] And so I pulled my hat brim Down over my eyes And preened and posed and tried my New self on for size Then I was out the door In the faint winter sunlight Just a number in the crowd Smiling at everyone Ah but who'd smile back At a face like that [Chorus] I'm gonna break something I'm gonna break something today And sweep all the pieces away
