Something Followed Me

While standing at the junction on 42nd street
 I idly kick a pebble lying near my feet
 I hear a weird noise, take a look up and down
 The cause of the commotion is right there on the ground
 Imagine my surprise, thought I'd left it at home, yeah
 But there's no doubt about it, it's my own tombstone
 ♪
 I went into the shop, and bought a loaf of bread
 I sank my teeth into it, thought I'd burst my head
 Oh, I dashed to the dentist, "Hey, hey, I've got an awful pain" yeah
 The man looks in my mouth and screams,"This boy is insane!"
 Imagine my surprise, thought i'd left it at home
 But there's a lump in my mouth of my own tombstone
 ♪
 I went in to see a movie, got the only empty seat
 I tired to stretch out in it, something blocking my feet
 Finally the lights came up, and I could clearly see
 A slab of engraved marble,just staring up at me
 Oh, imagine my surprise, oh, thought I'd left it at home
 But there's no doubt i'm sitting on my own tombstone
