Jimmy Buffett – Piece Of Work lyrics

(Jimmy) I'm a piece of work, I'm iron and lace
I'm shy, right up there in your face
I'm all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass.
I'm a sweetheart, genius, restless jerk.
Lord, have mercy, I'm a piece of work.

Well the Lord made me on a long thin limb
Made sure I'd remember him or her
In the middle of a long dark night
Creation crazy, death-sheet white
Made in the image of a lion-shocked lamb
I am who the hell I am
Ever better, bad to worse,
Down to the letter, I'm a piece of work.

(Toby) I'm a piece of work I'm an angels fiend
Bathed in lavender and gasoline
Scared brave, shallow in an ink black well
Lightly browned in the fires of hell
Wicked, holy, full on fake
Best known for my big mistake
I'm zen wise, peaceful, gone berserk
Good God almighty, I'm a piece of work.

I'm a dreadful sight, and I just don't care
Spent all morning pull out my hair
I woke at dawn with a crazy spin
Half the day trying to glue back in
Mother, bloody (Jimmy) Mary, please
Wipe that smile right off your knees
I'm the CEO (Toby) of the mailroom clerks
(Jimmy) Lord have mercy, what a piece of work.

(Jimmy) I'm a piece of work, I'm a love sick boy
Cloth cap, caviar, and corduroy
All over the map, just lost in space
With a filthy mind and a choirboy's face
(Toby) Heels up, head down, straight on through
Watch out woman, I'm a-gettin' to you
I'm a gladiator with a mind to irk
(Jimmy & Toby) Good God Almighty, I'm a piece of work
(Toby) I'm a piece of work
(Jimmy) I'm a piece of work
(Toby) I'm a piece of work
