Breakdown on 20th Ave. South

[Chorus]
In the night
In the night
Who hears the words coming out of your mouth?
In the night
In the night
Breakdown on 20th Avenue South

[Verse 1]
I was a paper cup in the wind
I run away hard
Didn't know where I'd been
That's what I said
I was a paper cup
I never knew where I'd end up

[Verse 2]
I was a joyride
I was a hippie girl
I was like a baton that you could twirl
Malevolent forces
But I couldn't swerve
When I think about it
They had a lot of nerve

[Chorus]
In the night
In the night
Who hears the words coming out of your mouth?
In the night
In the night
Breakdown on 20th Avenue South

[Verse 3]
I should've got an education
On second thought, a revelation
I run the finger up and down the edge
With my time out on the ledge

[Chorus]
In the night
In the night
Who hears the words coming out of your mouth?
In the night
In the night
Breakdown on 20th Avenue South

[Verse 4]
Night tiptoes in all over the world
Silent as a cat that comes uncurled
It comes in tired like it just got off the bus
Everyone's a stranger‚ who can you trust

[Chorus]
In the night
In the night
Who hears the words coming out of your mouth?
In the night
In the night
Breakdown on 20th Avenue South
Breakdown
