yeah just where did it start this breaking of your heart
yeah and where did it go south you're looking down in the mouth
of a ride that had just begun when the lap bar came up
yeah and sweetness it was bone dry at the bottom of the cup

yeah death she wears this strange perfume when you're traveling the white lines
yeah she stumbles in here under a different name almost every night
we're all cracked and crumbling just like that old sidewalk
and i suppose this must be the place where the walls went up

you make your smile a different way to cry
when the truth that they've been selling you is just another fine lie
yeah the candles on the inside they are flickering out
with the things they don't tell you about

can you hear the bells can you hear the alarm
can you give away your life like a good luck charm
this is where it started breaking your heart
yeah this is where it started this falling apart
