Another song! (It's a fast one...with punchy verses)
BROKEN-DOWN
I'm just a broken-down heart on the side of the road
I've been playing my part but the traffic has slowed
I could stick out my thumb and show some leg
'Cause I really need a ride, but I don't wanna beg
I'm just a broken-down dream on your pillow at night
I always mean to be sweet but I still start the fight
I'm the creature in your closet or under your bed
I could kiss you awake much you might end up dead
I forget who I am sometimes
In your eyes I commit no crimes
But in mine I am locked up tight
When we met, boy, you shined so bright
I'm just a broken-down home with my windows blown out
I should be living here alone - there is hardly a doubt
All my paint is peeling, probably laden with lead
From the look of you I'd say you haven't heard what I've said
I'm just a broken-down soul in the ether somewhere
I could have swallowed you whole and you wouldn't have cared
Directionless, reduced to merely tracking your scent
You'd think a soul couldn't smell but I know just where you went
I forget who I am sometimes
In your eyes I commit no crimes
But in mine I am locked up tight
When we met, boy, you shined so bright
I forget who I am sometimes
In your eyes I commit no crimes
But in mine I am locked up tight
When we met, boy, you shined so bright
And you shined bright
And your eyes reflected light
And you shined that night
And your arms held me so tight
I forget who I am sometimes
In your eyes I commit no crimes
But in mine I am locked up tight
When we met, boy, you shined so bright
I forget who I am sometimes
In your eyes I commit no crimes
But in mine I am locked up tight
When we met, boy, you shined so bright
I'm just a broken-down heart on the side of the road
I've been playing my part but the traffic has slowed
I could stick out my thumb and show some leg
'Cause I really need a ride, but I don't wanna beg
