Breakdown (BBC Friday Rock Show) - Magnum

In this strange world we have to live in Protected by some, taken granted by all

Time honoured thoughts end disapproving

With all dominions ever ready to fall

You won’t beat the pack, that’s no revelation

Come snapping their jaws right on your heels

Making your way through all this confusion

The harder you try, the less it reveals

I know what happens the moment you turn out your light

And I know what happens, it happens to me every night

You start to breakdown, breakdown

You’re going to crucify yourself, you’re lost

When you get pushed around, pushed around

Another refugee to bear the cross

Stand up, fight back

Now every course, blighted by answers

Acutely profane, no help in this brawl

And from the mouths that never felt hunger

Comes no deliverance, just a timely withdraw

What of your thoughts, not yet discovered

Along with the fears, they both play their part

You’ll work it out then run for cover

The truth will arrive like a bolt through your heart

I know what happens the moment you turn out your light

And I know what happens, it happens to me every night

You start to breakdown, breakdown

You’re going to crucify yourself, you’re lost

When you get pushed around, pushed around

Another refugee to bear the cross
