Lyrics
Well I went to see the Doctor and he told me of a girl
She could help me find my freedom, help me change the world
So I went down to the parlor to see if she could fill my need
Well I'm such a lucky Devil - she wasn't just a girl
She could reach my inner beaches, understand my words
Then she guessed my occupation and vanished in a whirlpool
It breaks my heart - livin' without you
It's been so long - why don't you call?
It's so cold - in the morning
It breaks my heart ...
You're Breakin' My Heart
Well I didn't have the money but she wanted something more
I had to go along with her before she hit the floor
Then I hit my head against hers and fell into a morbid mood
CHORUS
I know that you love me, it's such a shame
You slammed down the phone and you laid the blame
What a laugh ...
Well she started into screaming and casting magic spells
There was flashin' smoke and thunder - the barking dogs of Hell
But I didn't leave a number, she couldn't even spell my name
CHORUS
