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?)
