Breakdown

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 that 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 be 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)

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 your needs
Like when we both knew we had it
But now the damage's done
And we're back out on the run
Funny 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 writen if the Evil Spirit
Arms the tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the dove
Thus spake the super guru
Did you hear that
