Tears for Fears - Start Of The Breakdown lyrics

Scratch the ice, let the telephone ring

Sense of time is a powerful thing

And we love to laugh

Love to cry

Half alive

We love to

Go slow when we're dancing for rain

Dry skin flakes where there's ice in the vine

And we love to cry

Half alive

Is this the start of the breakdown ?

Scratch the earth, dig the burial ground

Sense of time won't be easily found

And ten out of ten

For the ones who defend

Pretend too

Breakdown is a final demand

Stand firm with the head in our hands

As we love to cry

Half alive

Is this the start of the breakdown ?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown ?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown?

Break-, breakdown

Break-, breakdown

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown ?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown ?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown ?

I can't understand you
