Alannah Myles Everybody`s Breakin` Up Lyrics

Everybody`s Breakin` Up Lyrics

It seems we're headed for a total breakdown

It keeps on getting harder to
connect

If this is not a war between the sexes

Well then some kind of
hex is in effect



The ones we used to call the happy couple

Have
given up on romance altogether

How that perfect one could come
undone

Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather



Lines are
down, streets are redded

Pipes cracked, apartments gutted

The tough are
gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough

Everybody's breakin'
up



Verse:

It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse

An
ending to this fractured fairy tale

What once upon a time were little home
sweet homes

Are now just houses up for sale



Streets ahush, a grim
reminder

No lovers laughter, no organ grinder

He's out of work, the
monkey run off with the cup

Seems like everybody's breakin'
up



Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis

We're comin' unhitched,
goin' back to old vices



The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's
gettin' tough

Everybody's breakin' up
