Breaking Down

Can you take a step away

From the scalpel lying there?

Ready when you are

To take it all apart

A light that's blinking

What was I thinking?

Newsprint on a forehead

Fold your paper, go to bed

A burn that's blistering

Try to stop listening

Get lost in a series

Of photos of palm trees

The light keeps blinking

The sun keeps sinking

Let's stay up here tonight

Yeah we'll live by the moonlight

Ooh breaking down

Every day

Into slices and sections that just

Slide away

Ooh breaking down

Every day

Into forces and fragment that just float away
