Breakdown lyrics

We all come in from the cold

We come down from the wire

An everybody warms themselves

To a different fire

When sometimes we get burned

You'd think sometime we'd learn

The one you love is the one

That should take you higher

You ain't got no one

You better go back out and find her

Just like children hidin' in a closet

Can't tell what's goin' on outside

Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track

We'll get taken for a ride

By a parlor trick or some words of wit

A hidden hand up a sleeve

To think the one you love

Could hurt you now

Is a little hard to believe

But everybody darlin' sometimes

Bites the hand that feeds

When I look around

Everybody always brings me down

Well is it them or me

Well I just can't see

But there ain't no peace to found

But if someone really cared

Well they'd take the time to spare

A moment to try and understand

Another one's despair

Remember in this game we call life

That no one said it's fair

Breakdown

Let me hear it now

Breakdown

Let me hear it now

Yeah

Breakdown

Let me hear it now

Breakdown

Let me hear it now

Get down with yo' bad self

Alright

I've come to know the cold

I think of it as home

When there ain't enough of me

To go around

I'd rather be left alone

But if I call you out of habit

I'm out of love and I gotta have it

Would you give it to me

If I fit you needs

Like when we both knew we had it

But now the damage's done

And we're back out on the run

Fun how ev'rything was roses

When we held on to the guns

Just because you're winnin'

Don't mean you're the lucky ones

Breakdown

Let me hear it now

Breakdown

Yeah

Breakdown

Breakdown

Let me hear it now

There goes the Challenger being chased

By the blue blue meanies on wheels

The vicious traffic squad cars are

After our lone driver

The last American hero

The-the electric sintar

The demi-god

The super driver of the golden west!

Two nasty nazi cars are close behind

The beautiful lone driver

The police cars are getting closer-closer...

Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile- yeah baby!

They about to strike, they gonna get him, smash! rape!

The last beautiful free soul on this planet

But...it is written if the evil spirit

Arms the tiger with claws

Brahman provided wings for the dove

Thus spake the super guru" *
