"Breaking Down" lyrics - SUPERCHUNK

SUPERCHUNK
"Breaking Down"

Can you take a step away
From the scalpel lying there?
Ready when you are
To take it all apart

A light that's blinking
What was I thinking?
Newsprint on a forehead
Fold your paper, go to bed

A burn that's blistering
Try to stop listening
Get lost in a series
Of photos of palm trees

The light keeps blinking
The sun keeps sinking
Let's stay up here tonight
Yeah we'll live by the moonlight

Oooh breaking down
Every day
Into slices and sections that just
Slide away
Oooh breaking down
Every day
Into forces and fragment that just float away
