lyrics

There’s a bad man lying by the side of the road
Y’can turn him over once, now he’s a rolling in dirt
Ain’t no lesson that’s ever been learnt
No more candles, just the feeling it’s all been burnt

I’m broke down
I’m broke on down, down, down, down, down
Y'got me rolling and a tumbling on down
Still, I’m looking for the beat, beat, beat

I’m a rusty old car – hear me rattle, hear me groan
And the brakes they never work now, well, they just moan
Ain’t no danger up on the roof
If there’s a rhythm in the air well let the whole world shake

I’m broke down
I’m broke on down, down, down, down, down
Y'got me rolling and a tumbling on down
Still, I’m looking for the beat, beat, beat

Well there’s a nervous shake that’s got me climbing the walls
Like a red light flashing, gotta cut on out
I could leave today or I could stay behind
Kick the ladder as I climb, then I’ll see what we find

I’m broke down
I’m broke on down, down, down, down, down
Y'got me rolling and a tumbling on down
Still I’m looking for the beat, beat, beat
