Broken Hearts Lyrics - Singles - John Cale And Bob Neuwirth

Consternation on the dance floor, I can't take it any more 

My ugly girlfriend has these big eyes 

She's running out the door 

Get her back, the regulars cry, all the bar-flies are going dry 

We need some business 

Says the man reaching out with the greasy hand 

We need some business 

Says the man with the broken heart 

Broken hearts are good for business these days 

Broken hearts are good for business, always 

Mass confusion on the turnpike 

Which way did the lady go? 

Rumor has it 

She was flying through the toll-booth down the road 

Get her back, the troopers cry 

All the judges need a boost 

Bad reviews in the daily news 

And the chickens come home to roost 

Broken hearts are good for business these days 

Broken hearts are good for business, always
