  • 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 Writer/s: Patti Smith, Tom Verlaine
