Wake up boys and let's get ready C'mon and sharpen up your blades There might be ice over the steady Jamie Roebotham, Michael Gates Robin and Dawn, so mild and meek Just waiting for somebody to speak Honey, you know I've waited all week I'm gonna break my losin' streak I'm gonna break it with the... Brookfield gang Brookfield gang Brookfield... Brookfield gang Drop the coin right in the slot Eternal Flame on the jukebox Shirley and John with a yellow teapot It will not rot In my memory Brookfield gang Brookfield gang Brookfield... My Brookfield gang Brookfield gang Brookfield gang Brookfield... Well, the Brookfield gang

Night came down Poured and thundered Lights went out And I went under My body's broken Body's broken Well, I'm a strange one Lost in your ocean Strange language Strange emotion Body's broken Body's broken Don't come knockin' I gave you everything (Don't come knockin') I heard you talkin' What's in it for me (Don't come knockin') (I heard you talkin') Body's Broken Dusty sailor Crawlin' to your door Rusty razor Washed up on the shore Broken bodies Body's broken My body's broken My body's broken

Letter On the door Says you Don't live here anymore You've picked A fine time To leave me Behind Did you know That I turned twenty-five This Morning When you were still alive Did you know That I turned fifty-five This morning When you were still alive Letter On the door Says you Don't live here anymore

Why do I let myself get upset? You've pulled shit like this before Why am I always sweepin' up your mess? I can't do it anymore You'd hand it all over for pocket change If you thought you'd win big on the lottery Well, your trouble is my trouble And I take the blame For being so damned naive Who you gonna dial in case of emergency? I was the only one who cared I was the only one lookin' out for you I was the only one who dared I was the only one who dared I got so scared, you know, I called the police I just didn't know what else to do But the only crime was in your mind So now I guess it's up to you Sometimes I feel like I'm the mother and you're the child So easy for you to run away And there's nobody lookin' out for me What the hell else can I say? Who you gonna dial in case of emergency? I was the only one who cared I was the only one lookin' out for you I was the only one who dared I was the only one who dared Who you gonna dial in case of emergency? I was the only one who cared I was the only one lookin' out for you I was the only one who dared I was the only one who dared

Out in the mornin' Cold and stark I turn the key Wait for a spark Engine turns and I burn On down the street My brakes are bad And I'm feelin' nervous I take my car in To get some service Down some pills, pay the bill And I'm back on the beat Do you think that you could love me? Do you think that you could ever love me? What do I think? Sometimes I think that I don't think at all Home by four And I cry a couple tears Back out the door Throw back a couple beers Ooh, my head, back in bed Try to get some sleep Do you think that you could love me? Do you think that you could ever love me? What do I think? Sometimes I think that I don't think at all Out in the mornin' Cold and stark I turn the key Wait for a spark Engine turns and I burn On down the street

I got a feelin' You might be leavin' You might be walkin' away I won't believe it Until I see it Until the last hand is played No time for losin' Only for movin' And no time for runnin' away I got a feelin' You might be leavin' You might be walkin' away No time for losin' Only for movin' And no time for runnin' away I got a feelin' You might be leavin' You might be walkin' away I won't believe it Until I see it Until the last hand is played I got a feelin' You might be leavin' You might be walkin' away

Are you gone, gone, gone, gone, gone? Is it wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong To wanna see you again? Don't you wanna see me again? 'Cause it's a long, long, long, long road To go it, go it, go it alone I need to see you again Don't you wanna see me again? You can bury my love But it's alive and well You're in a hurry my love And it's givin' me hell Now don't you think it's worth it To come and unearth it Don't you wanna see me again? I remember a time I remember a place when we were cool Baby, you were so fine And the lines on your face weren't so cruel You can bury my love But it's alive and well You're in a hurry my love And it's givin' me hell Now don't you think it's worth it To come and unearth it Don't you wanna see me again? Are you gone, gone, gone, gone, gone? Is it wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong To wanna see you again? Don't you wanna see me again? 'Cause it's a long, long, long, long road To go it, go it, go it alone I need to see you again Don't you wanna see me again?
