Gumboots Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Bocci 

Cover art for Gumboots lyrics by Paul Simon

It was in the early morning hours When I fell into a phone call Believing I had supernatural powers I slammed into a brick wall I said hey, is this my problem? Is this my fault? If that's the way it's going to be I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt

If anyone has ever been on the verge of a breakup, this should sound familiar. He thinks he has things in control and ends up hurting himself by ending things.
