On the Night My Love Broke Through Lyrics
On the night that my love broke through
On the night that my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night that my love broke through
Cell doors were opened,
God stepped out the way,
Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay.
Flower's long since dead
Stiffened at the neck.
Colours came back in green and yellow and in red.
Unemployed cowboys
Staggered on Fairfax.
Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back.
A copy of Vechouski[?],
At the bottom of the stack,
Got picked up by some dropout who read it front to back
Send me out the tin hands of the past![?]
Hands are crawling out of
Grimy bathtub drains.
Janitor was laughing, he had finally gone insane.
City buses swerving,
Arriving right on time.
Vending machines were serving glasses of white wine by the dime.
Street lights got a burst of
Electricity.
Sparks danced across windshields like a grand finale.
Metal detectors beeping,
Sound was deafening.
Everywhere bleeding at dug up wedding rings.
We all stopped to listen to it sing!
On the night that my love broke through..
On the night that my love broke through..
Revelations that came unglued..
On the night that my love broke through..
On the night..
On the night..
On the night..
On the night..
On the night that my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night that my love broke through
God stepped out the way,
Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay.
Stiffened at the neck.
Colours came back in green and yellow and in red.
Staggered on Fairfax.
Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back.
At the bottom of the stack,
Got picked up by some dropout who read it front to back
Grimy bathtub drains.
Janitor was laughing, he had finally gone insane.
Arriving right on time.
Vending machines were serving glasses of white wine by the dime.
Electricity.
Sparks danced across windshields like a grand finale.
Sound was deafening.
Everywhere bleeding at dug up wedding rings.
On the night that my love broke through..
Revelations that came unglued..
On the night that my love broke through..
On the night..
On the night..
On the night..
On the night..

I think this is my favorite off the new album and it is so stuck in my head, not getting out and I don't even care, haha.
It's very different... but I really like it.
yeahh, but wtf is it about? (:
The line is
"A copy of Bukowski" in reference to Charles Bukowski.
