Breakdown (and Then...) Lyrics

Crown prince of the crying jag,

Stuffed a towel in his mouth to gag.
Oh my darling I never knew

How hard it was to get rid of you.

I smashed on our virgin date,

Tell me, how did I reach that state?

The day ends again, and then

My darling here comes your breakdown and then...

Struck down by my own device

Sweet Jesus-ice-cold-Christ.

You drowned in the dining room

Resurrection sure came too soon.

God it's cold in this room

Hopped up on fever's croon

Just two more love dumb fools

Here comes your breakdown and then...

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.

Crown prince of the crying Jag

Stuffs a towel in his mouth to gag

Oh my darlin' I never knew

How hard it was to get rid of you
I smashed our burning date

Oh tell me how did we reach this state

the day ends again and then

My darlin here comes that breakdown and then

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

I choke on this heart of hate,

sometimes I find it hard

To get things straight

Cold as a distant star

Hot as a stolen car
