The Old Apartment
Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
And why did you paint the walls?
And why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dish rack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back
Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two steps from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live
And why did they pave the lawn?
And why did they change the locks?
And why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live
And how is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
And I'm happy here
And this is where we used to live
Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
And I want them back
I want them back
And I want them back
And I want them back
This is where we used to live
Broken glass broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
And why did you paint the walls?
And why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dish rack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back
Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two steps from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live
And why did they pave the lawn?
And why did they change the locks?
And why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live
And how is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
And I'm happy here
And this is where we used to live
Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
And I want them back
I want them back
And I want them back
And I want them back
