Breakdown And Then Lyrics

Xiu Xiu Breakdown And Then

[Verse 1]
Crown prince of the crying jag
Stuffs a towel in his mouth to gag
Oh, my darling, I never knew
How hard it was to get rid of you
Smashed on our virgin date
How did I reach that state?
The day ends again and then
Darling, here comes that breakdown
And then…

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Struck down by my own device
Sweet Jesus, ice-cold Christ
You drowned in the dining room
Resurrection, it came too soon
God, it's cold in this room
Hopped up on fever's croon
Just two more love-dumb fools
Here comes that breakdown
And then…

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Loading the gun again
Dead lead goes in and then
Catch as catch can and can't
Catch cold and fall apart
Cold as a distant star
Hot as a stolen car
I choke on this heart of hate
Sometimes I find it hard
To get things straight

[Instrumental Outro]
