Something following me lyrics

Artist  : Procol harum 
Song : Something following me
 
(brooker / reid)

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
But there’s no doubt about it, it’s my own
tombstone

I went into a shop, and bought a loaf of bread
I sank my teeth into it, thought I’d bust my
head
I dashed to the dentist, said, ’i’ve got an awful
pain!’
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 to see a movie, got the only empty seat
I tried 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
Imagine my surprise, thought I’d left it at home
But there’s no doubt I’m sitting on my own
tombstone
