Broken Things - David Byrne

There are broken things

In my house

Some are twisted

Some are cracked

Some been bended

Till they snapped

There are broken

Things in here

Things in pieces

Things in knots

Things that crumble

In tiny parts

I am fixing broken things

I am fixing broken things

Everyone could use some help

Will you help me fix myself?

I am fixing broken things

Things are mended

Things are glued

I have done

Best I can do I am fixing broken things

Everyone could use some help

Will you help me fix myself?

See how easy — things can break?

If it’s crooked,

Make it straight

Do you love me?

I can’t tell

Pick up pieces

& make me well

In this house of broken things

Everyone could use some help

Will you help me fix myself?

I am fixing broken things

Everybody celebrate

Now I got my business straight
