Breakdown

(앨범: The Eleventh Hour - 1983)

In this strange world we have to live in
Protected by some, taken granted by all
Time honoured thoughts end disapproving
With all dominions ever ready to fall

You won't beat the pack, that's no revelation
Come snapping their jaws right on your heels
Making your way through all this confusion
The harder you try, the less it reveals

I know what happens
The moment you turn out your light
And I know what happens
It happens to me every night

You start to breakdown, breakdown
You're going to crucify yourself, you're lost
When you get pushed 'round, pushed 'round
Another refugee to bear the cross

Stand up, fight back

Now every course, blighted by answers
Acutely profane, no help in this brawl
And from the mouths that never felt hunger
Comes no deliverance, just a timely withdrawal

What of your thoughts not yet discovered?
Along with the fears, they both play their part
You'll work it out then run for cover
The truth will arrive like a bolt through your heart

I know what happens
The moment you turn out your light
And I know what happens
It happens to me every night

You start to breakdown, breakdown
You're going to crucify yourself, you're lost
When you get pushed 'round, pushed 'round
Another refugee to bear the cross

Breakdown, breakdown
You're going to crucify yourself, you're lost
When you get pushed 'round, pushed 'round
Another refugee to bear the cross
