Scratchy eyes let the telephone ring
The sands of time is a powerful thing
And we love to laugh, love to cry
Half alive, we love to
Your soul will melt down to the rain
Dry skin flakes where there′s ice in the veins
And we love to cry, half alive
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can't understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can′t understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
Scratch the earth, dig the burial mound
The sands of time won't be easily found
And ten out of ten for the ones
Who defend, pretend to
Breakdown is a vital demand
We stand firm with our head in our hands
As we love to cry, half alive
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can't understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can′t understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
Break, breakdown
Break, break
I can′t understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can't understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can′t understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can't understand
Is this the start of the breakdown?
Start of the breakdown
Start of the breakdown
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can′t understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can't understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
I can′t understand you
Is this the start of the breakdown?
Thanks, well you've been a great audience
And this is our last number
This is for those of you who have bought the album
