i fell through a hole in the afternoon
i fell through a hole in the afternoon

well the caffeine wore off too soon
and I saw my brother and sister employees all were writing their resumes
and a spirit in the walls of the office
whispered to me that i was faceless
and then a secretary whose name escapes me
showed me to the man who makes or breaks me

i fell through a hole in the afternoon
i fell through a hole in the afternoon

well i left for lunch and i found religion in the sandwich that i forgot to taste
i discovered my soul encased between two slices of buttered bread
my heart of hearts was oozing mustard
until the waitress interrupted with a check and a look that said she understood

i fell through a hole in the afternoon
i fell through a hole in the afternoon

well i got sucked in over the telephone
i bought a ton of aluminum to decorate my broken home
after the word got around
my wife and children moved back in
now everybody tells me i'm a lucky man
i don't really understand

i fell through a hole in the afternoon
i fell through a hole in the afternoon

i made a big mistake in the men's room
as i was doubled over the sink in pain
i washed my contacts down the drain
i retreated into the corner stall
to feel again that life is simple
but i couldn't see the breathing wall
i sat and waited for the night to fall

i fell through a hole in the afternoon
i fell through a hole in the afternoon
