Broken Board

Paroles de « Broken Board »

Verse 1

The rusted bolt bit deep in the floor
I snapped the plank with a heavy score
The dust is thick on the wooden grain
I checked my pocket and found the rain
No coins to spare for the hardware store
Just a hollow space where the boards were before

Chorus

We need new wood and the cash is gone
We need new wood and the night is long
We need new wood and the floor is bare
We need new wood and the debt is there

Verse 2

I skipped my lunch to save a dime
The plumber slipped on the broken rim
The crack grows wide like a canyon mouth
I count the hours and give up the pout
The landlord looks with a cold, wet stare
The hole in the ground is hanging there

Chorus

We need new wood and the cash is gone
We need new wood and the night is long
We need new wood and the floor is bare
We need new wood and the debt is there
