Did I mention we were dreaming When the devil came to town I was awoken by the screaming But nobody heard a sound And the lies we told at breakfast Will match the lies we had for lunch And the lies we said for dinner, yeah for dinner They're the tallest of the bunch Did you notice he was cold When he finally lost control long ago And the [?] Was he likely to console And I'm still not understanding The things he did before he left And the one thing that will haunt me It will haunt me Right before his final breath, he said And they broke him down, yeah they broke him down He said I'll never be your saint you see cause I won't be hanging around So they broke him down, yeah they broke him down So I stood there and I held my breath cause I know that it wouldn't be long Till they broke me down Did I mention we were flailing? When the angels came around And they just sat there they we were waiting For the first of us to drown And I started going under But I didn't hold my breath Cause the last thing that I needed Oh I needed Was the hold of holy dead [?] Oh no And no one holds a grudge dear Like I do, I see it through And you may not remember It was nothing much at the time But I kept it bottled inside Oh and we all know how that goes Yeah I've given up on letting go So here we are, with nothing left here And now you left me here And I was last to know [Chorus] And they broke him down, yeah they broke him down So I can't be your saint you see cause I won't be hanging around And they broke him down, yeah they broke him down So I stood there and I held my breath cause I knew that it wouldn't be long Holy smokes [?] Some say we've given up the ghost But I think he's in the background (somewhere in the background) Hiding in his favorite photographs And he's leaving as a beggar Horribly undead [?] But the one thing that I'm sure of I am sure of Is he found some comfort there [Chorus x2] Till they broke me down
