Everything Is Broken (Alternate Version)

Broken nights, broken days
Broken leaves on broken trees
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken hands on broken ploughs

Ain't use in runnin', honey
Ain't no use talkin'
Nothing's workin'
Everything's broken

Broken lives, hangin' by the thread
Broken bones in a broken bed
Broken mirror, broken charm
Broken roads, don't know where

Broken words
Never meant to be spoken
Can't help it, honey
Everything's broken

I sent you roses once
Some hot but suitable degree
Sent you roses, someone else must have received

Broken clock on a broken wall
Broken voices in a broken hall
Broken beginnings, broken ends
Streets are filled with broken hearts

Take a deep breath, baby
Feel like you're choking
Tell me the truth now
Everything's broken

Seem in a picture once coming in from the door
Said you had hoped I looked at you
If I get to be at all

Broken flesh on a broken floor
Broken key on a broken door
Broken idols, broken heroes
Broken numbers and left the zeros

Hound dogs howling
Bull-frogs croaking
It ain't easy, baby
Everything's broken
