Breakdown (And Then…)

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
 I smashed on our virgin date
 How did I reach that state?
 The day ends again and then
 My darling, here comes that breakdown
 And then...
 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...
 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...
