Breakdown and Then

[Verse 1] Crown prince of the crying jag Stuffs a towel in his mouth to gag Oh, my darling, I never knew How hard it was to get rid of you Smashed on our virgin date How did I reach that state? The day ends again and then Darling, here comes that breakdown And then… [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Struck down by my own device Sweet Jesus, ice-cold Christ You drowned in the dining room Resurrection, it came too soon God, it's cold in this room Hopped up on fever's croon Just two more love-dumb fools Here comes that breakdown And then… [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Loading the gun again Dead lead goes in and then Catch as catch can and can't Catch cold and fall apart Cold as a distant star Hot as a stolen car I choke on this heart of hate Sometimes I find it hard To get things straight [Instrumental Outro]
