[Cold War Kids - On the Night My Love Broke Through lyrics]
On the night that my love broke through
On the night that my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night that my love broke through
Cell doors were opened
Guards stepped out the way
Prisoners got one acre of land
And one year's pay
Flowers long since dead
Stiffened at the neck
Colors came back in green and
Yellow and in red
Unemployed cowboy staggered on Fairfax
Trucks pulled up and fifteen men
Hollered and hopped in back
A copy of Bukowski
At the bottom of the stack
Got pickup by some dropout who
Read it front to back
Shoving off the death hand of his past
Ants were crawling out of
Grimy bathtub drains janitor was laughing
He had finally gone insane
City buses swerving arriving right on time
Vending machines were selling glasses of
White wine by the dime
Streetlights got a burst of electricity
Sparks danced across windshields like
A grand finale
Metal detector's beeping sound was deafening
Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings
We all stopped to listen to him sing
On the night when my love broke through
On the night when my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night when my love broke through
On the night on the night
On the night on the night
On the night that my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night that my love broke through
Cell doors were opened
Guards stepped out the way
Prisoners got one acre of land
And one year's pay
Flowers long since dead
Stiffened at the neck
Colors came back in green and
Yellow and in red
Unemployed cowboy staggered on Fairfax
Trucks pulled up and fifteen men
Hollered and hopped in back
A copy of Bukowski
At the bottom of the stack
Got pickup by some dropout who
Read it front to back
Shoving off the death hand of his past
Ants were crawling out of
Grimy bathtub drains janitor was laughing
He had finally gone insane
City buses swerving arriving right on time
Vending machines were selling glasses of
White wine by the dime
Streetlights got a burst of electricity
Sparks danced across windshields like
A grand finale
Metal detector's beeping sound was deafening
Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings
We all stopped to listen to him sing
On the night when my love broke through
On the night when my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night when my love broke through
On the night on the night
On the night on the night
