Dm Scratch the ice, let the telephone ring Sense of time is a powerful thing A# Gm A# And we love to laugh, love to cry Gm Dm Half alive we love to Go slow when we're dancing for rain Dry skin flakes where there's ice in the vein And we love to cry, half alive Chorus: A# Dm A# 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 We stand firm with our heads in our hands As we love to cry, half alive Chorus: Is this the start of the breakdown?
