Everybody's Breakin' Up Lyrics - The Very Best Of - Alannah Myles

It seems we're headed for a total breakdown 

It keeps on getting harder to connect 

If this is not a war between the sexes 

Well then some kind of hex is in effect 

The ones we used to call the happy couple 

Have given up on romance altogether 

How that perfect one could come undone 

Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather 

Lines are down, streets are redded 

Pipes cracked, apartments gutted 

The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough 

Everybody's breakin' up 

Verse: 

It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse 

An ending to this fractured fairy tale 

What once upon a time were little home sweet homes 

Are now just houses up for sale 

Streets ahush, a grim reminder 

No lovers laughter, no organ grinder 

He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup 

Seems like everybody's breakin' up 

Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis 

We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices 

The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough 

Everybody's breakin' up
