"Ready To Begin Again" lyrics

"Ready To Begin Again"

When my teeth are at rest in a glass by my bed
And my hair lies somewhere in a drawer
Then the world doesn't seem like a very nice place
Not a very nice place anymore

But I take out my teeth, from the glass by my bed
And my hair from a drawer in the hall
Still the world doesn't seem like a very nice place
Not a very nice place, at all

But I put in my teeth, and I put on my hair
And a strange thing occurs when I do
For my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
And my hair like my very own too

And I'm ready to begin again
Ready to begin again
I'm reaching for the soap
My heart is full of hope
Again, again
I'm ready to begin again
Feeling like I've just begun
Now I'm not afraid to raise the window shade
And face the sun

I put on my bracelets and brooches
My rings and my pearls and my pins
And as the new day approaches
As the new day begins

I'm ready to begin again
Looking fresh and bright I trust
Ready to begin again
As everybody, must
