Fewer Broken Pieces

If you make a reference
To some trouble that you know
Can it help you keep it under control
Or should I really reconsider?

My reasons for going solo
David Byrne on Bob Costas
Puts it pretty well
But I put it better

I still run the show
Don't you forget it
So I had to let some go
Don't think I don't regret it
Because I do and I don't
Think I'm better off alone

Man, I could have made a big sound
But I love to let me friends down

Fewer moving parts
Means fewer broken pieces
When every other start
Requires a brand new thesis

One good friend remarks
With a rightfully angry
Jesus dude, none of us know
What to do with you

To which I in pride responded
I've got news for you
None of you have to 'cause

I still run the show
Don't you forget it
So I had to let some go
Don't think I don't regret it
Because I do and I don't
Think I'm better off alone

Man, I could have made a big sound
But I love to let my good friends down
