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
Oooh ohhh ohhhh oooh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Cardinal John he says he’s like you – he keeps locked up in his room
‘fraid to come out at the full moon – he stays busy chanting his tune
Ooooh oooh ohhhhh ahhhhhh
Little Bonnie you don’t have to pay - for your broken life this way will you change your mind? Says she’s leabing home at 5 – doesn't know just how to stay alive from day to day to day
Ooh ohh 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 ohhh ohhhh oooh 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?)
