Broke
are my eyes
I can't see
where you hide
A trace of your feet
carries me
indefinitely
and when found
a sound route
a way out
of our small town
but broke
are your ears
you can't hear
you never could.
you're broken
so broke
we're hopeless.
I'm smokin with the damned
at this high school dance
less romantic
more so tragic
sadly shaken
badly beaten trance
your bruises
mark the pieces of
a broken home
that shattered long ago
all on the floor
time is the hand that picks you up
and carries you
somewhere else
for your sake, my dear,
I hope you find a way out
I'm swimmin' with the damned at this high school dance
less romantic
more so tragic
sadly shaken
slowly swayin'
So sway
sway like you're broken
So sway
sway like you're hopeless
my car's in the shop
it's broken down like us
like all the light bulbs in this house
the power's out
your shoes are
wrapped around the grid
pumped full of electric sin
we're patiently waiting
for them to finally fall down
so light me up that cigarette complaint
we're late on rent again
we're out on the street
broken, shoeless
my car's in the shop
it's broken down like us
like all the light bulbs in this house
the power's out
So sway
sway like you're broken
So sway
sway like you're hopeless.
