Lyrics

dirty, broke & dull: (3/4/05, 3/11/05, 3/14/05, 3/16/05, 3/17/05) draft 10


when you return what you have borrowed,
will it be stained with love and sorrow too, oh
what kinda shape is it in now,
still beating strong, or dirty, broke and dull

it's my time to be here, by your light it was so clear
oh please save me from another broken heart
let me run back into the dark where i belong, pick up the

parts of this broken thing you borrowed,
give me the tools i need to make it mend, oh
tell me some lies that i can whisper,
over and over 'til i catch my wind

it's my time to be here, by your light it was so clear
oh please save me from another broken heart
let me run back into the dark where i belong, find all the


parts and put it back together, bind it 'til it's tough as leather
thread the needle through the roving eye
patch it with a magic potion, soften it with body lotion
pull some strings and make it come alive

i can see my reflection in the window to your world
but i cannot enter anymore
i get lost in the shadow as i'm outside looking in
with the sunshine behind me going down (x3)

mini break D (5 meas.)

when you return what you have borrowed,
will my broken heart be stained with love, your love, oh
what kinda shape is it in now,
still beating strong or (dirty, broke and dull) x4
