Broken
(words and music by Randall Wayne Belt)

Pretty Beth Swan she says she’s like me
She keeps perched up in her tree
Likes her nest all cozy and clean
Doesn’t want somebody to see

Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
ahh ahh ahh ahh

Cardinal John he says he’s like you
He keeps locked up in his room
Afraid to come out at the full moon
He stays busy chanting his tune

Ooh ooh ooh ahh

Little Bonnie you don’t have to pay
For your broken life this way
Will you change your mind? 
Says she’s leaving home at 5
Doesn't know just how to stay alive
From day to day to day

Ooh ooh how about you?
Ooh ooh how about you?

A thousand people running away
Cardinal John invites them to stay
Hope he has got plenty of space
As millions more pick up the pace

Oooh ooh ooh ooh
 ahh ahh ahh ahh

Susan has a friend named Cliff
Says she’ll jump right off of him
Is she turning back around?
For another friend she’s found?

It’s just another whim
She’s turning back around

She’s got her table to tend to
At night she always pretends you…

She’ll make you fade away
Pretend you’re there another day
Will she change her mind?
Says she’s leaving home at 5
Doesn’t know just how to stay alive from day to day to day

Ooh ooh how about you (how about you?)
Ooh ooh how about you (how about you now?)
Ooh ooh how about you (how about you?)
