Broken Hearts Lyrics

John Cale & Bob Neuwirth Broken Hearts

Consternation on the dance floor, I can't take it any more
My ugly girlfriend has these big eyes
She's running out the door
Get her back, the regulars cry, all the bar-flies are going dry

We need some business
Says the man reaching out with the greasy hand
We need some business
Says the man with the broken heart

Broken hearts are good for business these days
Broken hearts are good for business, always

Mass confusion on the turnpike
Which way did the lady go?
Rumor has it
She was flying through the toll-booth down the road

Get her back, the troopers cry
All the judges need a boost
Bad reviews in the daily news
And the chickens come home to roost

Broken hearts are good for business these days
Broken hearts are good for business, always
