you're having a breakdown So you're losing the fight So you're having a breakdown And I'm driving and crying Unraveled and flying I'm coming to your breakdown
And so you meet me Down at the bar 7th and Cherry That's where we are And I promise not to take you down too far Beetle takes a dollar Benz will make
We were all wounded in some domestic war I found you to settle my score You looked like father You felt like mother My mind told my heart There
You say you don't feel like yourself Does that mean you're somebody else How would I know Oh you say you just don't feel quite right today Does that
There were stairs they were steep I was falling falling deep You were there you were small There was screaming down the hall I've been here sleeping
What's this little lie They keep on telling me It's just another high They keep on selling me I was only five They fed me so much jive They said
No one conceals me like No one reveals me like My lover No one can disconnect No one can resurrect Like my lover My lover makes me weak Gives me
Showers of your crimson blood Seep into a nation calling up a flood Of narrow minds who legislate Thinly veiled intolerance Bigotry and hate But
After your laughter like thunder After your skin like coffee and cream After it takes our bodies into the night After we've come to the extreme
So you closed your eyes in the morning You said you want to start smoking again You said you had that dream last night Of the stranger in your room
In a room full of silver shadows A customary kiss goodnight And it slips through your tightened shoulders It reaches your heart and dies And the sadness
I hear your questions I see your face Your life before you Is full of grace What can I tell you To let you know Your angel's eyes Will watch you
