Breaking Down Lyrics
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 fragments that just float away
From the scalpel lying there?
Ready when you are
To take it all apart
What was I thinking?
Newsprint on a forehead
Fold your paper, go to bed
Try to stop listening
Get lost in a series
Of photos of palm trees
The sun keeps sinking
Let's stay up here tonight
Yeah we'll live by the moonlight
Every day
Into slices and sections that just
Slide away
Ooh breaking down
Every day
Into Forces and fragments that just float away

This is such a great song but these hideously mangled lyrics here haven't been updated since being edited so long ago, even though the correct words are provided with the album.
