Part of me is here
Part of me is there
That’s me all over
Here, there and everywhere
I try to hold together
But I always fall apart
This puzzle that is me
Looks like abstract art
I’m in a million pieces
And none of them quite fit
I’m in a million pieces
They all seem counterfeit
When will I find salvation
When will I find my joy
I been out here in this desert
Ever since I was a boy
I’m in a million pieces
I’m in a million pieces
All these errant feelings
I want to hold them in
But they keep popping up
Much to my chagrin
Never had much protection
No one to go out on a limb
It’s always just me all alone
Lonesome Joe my pseudonym
I been out here in this desert
I have a mighty thirst
I beseech you for a drink
You said first things first
You said it’s not the water
Not the water that I need
You offered me your hand
And I take your lead
