Broken Bones

from Rocks And Tourists by Cable Girl

lyrics

suck it in big boy
you've got a lot to learn
or empty out the kitchen
and watch the world turn away
you caught me at the right time
i'm in the middle of a breakdown
going a little bit crazy
i think i need a little something to...

pick me up
i'm so broken boned
and if there's trouble outside
we can stare cross eyed
across the night
across the night

sails on the horizon
well i can taste the salt
you faked a pretty good illness
but opened up a little fault
where once there were people
now it's all rocks and tourists
most people don't like pain
most people don't take chances

then we were talking 'bout the old days
god knows it was good
to have some dreams at your feet
and feel so misunderstood
but now their secondhand smoke
gets me weak at the knees
so take a deep breath in
forget about the disease and...

pick me up
i'm so broken boned
and if there's trouble outside
we can stare cross eyed
across the night
across the night

so suck it in big boy
there's still a lot to learn
now the flies are in the kitchen
watching everything burn away
you caught me at the right time
i'm in the middle of a breakdown
going a little bit crazy
i think i need a little something to...

pick me up
i'm so broken boned
and if there's trouble outside
we can stare cross eyed
across the night
across the night
