Break It Up
Written by - Patti Smith, Tom Verlaine
From - Horse
Car stopped in a clearing
Ribbon of life
It was nearing
I saw the boy break out of his skin
My heart turned over and I crawled in
He cried, 'Break it up
Oh, I don't understand
Break it up
I can't comprehend
Break it up
Oh, I want to feel you
Break it up
Don't talk to me that way
I'm not listening'

Snow started falling
I could hear the angel calling
We rolled on the ground
He stretched out his wings
The boy flew away and he started to sing
He sang, 'Break it up
Oh, I don't understand
Break it up
I can't comprehend
Break it up
Oh, I want to feel you
Break it up
Don't look at me'

The sky was raging
The boy disappeared
I fell on my knee
Atmosphere broke up
The boy reappeared
I cried, 'Take me please'

Ice, it was shining
I could feel my heart
It was melting
I tore off my clothes
I danced on my shoes
I ripped my skin open and then I broke through
I cried, 'Break it up
Oh, now I understand
Break it up
And I want to go
Break it up
Oh, please take me with you
Break it up
I can feel it breaking
I can feel it breaking
I can feel it breaking
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel'

So break it up
Oh now I'm coming with you
Break it up
Now I'm gonna go
Break it up
Oh, feel me
I'm coming
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Oh, break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it on up
Break it up
Break it on up, up, up
Break it
Break it
Break it
Break it
Break it on up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up
Break it up...
