lyrics
This time let’s breakdown leave our blueprints at home
Not that it’s easy to let them all go
And once we get back to the places we love
It’s not gonna last no
It’s not gonna last
It’s blues, it’s using me
It’s true, we’re an odd sort of family, so
Check my downy eyes, check my vacant smile
Get on with your preaching while we
Hit up the miracle mile
It’s faith, it’s wasting away
And we’ve taken up a bad sort of praying, so
Please don’t ask for conformational review
This time let’s breakdown leave our blueprints at home
Not that it’s easy to let them all go
And once we get back to the places we love
It’s not gonna last no
It’s not gonna last
Somehow, this crowd of mine
Gets off on, skimming the borderline
We’ll sign it all off while we’re mulling it over, we’ll
Get ourselves in line so we can stand on the shoulder
My faults, they’re not a weakness
And that’s all our teachers teach us
But we’ve been held back, oh we’ve been brought down
It’s not that easy when you’re not on solid ground
This time let’s breakdown leave our blueprints at home
Not that it’s easy to let them all go
And once we get back to the places we love
It’s not gonna last no
It’s not gonna last
Not that it’s easy to let them all go
And once we get back to the places we love
It’s not gonna last no
It’s not gonna last
It’s blues, it’s using me
It’s true, we’re an odd sort of family, so
Check my downy eyes, check my vacant smile
Get on with your preaching while we
Hit up the miracle mile
It’s faith, it’s wasting away
And we’ve taken up a bad sort of praying, so
Please don’t ask for conformational review
This time let’s breakdown leave our blueprints at home
Not that it’s easy to let them all go
And once we get back to the places we love
It’s not gonna last no
It’s not gonna last
Somehow, this crowd of mine
Gets off on, skimming the borderline
We’ll sign it all off while we’re mulling it over, we’ll
Get ourselves in line so we can stand on the shoulder
My faults, they’re not a weakness
And that’s all our teachers teach us
But we’ve been held back, oh we’ve been brought down
It’s not that easy when you’re not on solid ground
This time let’s breakdown leave our blueprints at home
Not that it’s easy to let them all go
And once we get back to the places we love
It’s not gonna last no
It’s not gonna last
