The Old Apartment

Broke into the old apartment
 This is where we used to live
 Broken glass, broke and hungry
 Broken hearts and broken bones
 This is where we used to live
 Why did you paint the walls?
 Why did you clean the floor?
 Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
 This is where we used to live
 Why did you keep the mousetrap?
 Why did you keep the dish rack?
 These things used to be mine
 I guess they still are, I want them back
 I broke into the old apartment
 Forty-two steps from the street
 Crooked landing, crooked landlord
 Narrow laneway filled with crooks
 This is where we used to live
 Why did they pave the lawn?
 Why did they change the locks?
 Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
 This is where we used to live
 How is the neighbour downstairs?
 How is her temper this year?
 I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
 I know we don't live here anymore
 We bought an old house on the Danforth
 She loves me and her body keeps me warm
 I'm happy there
 But this is where we used to live
 I broke into the old apartment
 This is where we used to live
 Why did you keep the mousetrap?
 Why did you keep the dish rack?
 These things used to be mine
 I guess they still are, I want them back
 I broke into the old apartment
 I want them back
 This is where we used to live
 I want them back
