Broken Things Lyrics by David Byrne

Look Into the Eyeball

2001

[Verse 1]
There are broken things
In my house
There are broken things
In my house
Some are twisted
Some are cracked
Some been bended
'Til they snapped

[Verse 2]
There are broken
Things in here
There are broken
Things in here
Things in pieces
Things in knots
Things that crumble
In tiny parts

[Chorus]
I am fixing broken things
I am fixing broken things
Everyone could use some help
Will you help me fix myself?

[Verse 3]
I am fixing broken things
I am fixing broken things
Things are mended
Things are glued
And I have done
Best I can do

[Chorus]
I am fixing broken things
I am fixing broken things
Everyone could use some help
Will you help me fix myself?

[Bridge]
See how easy that things can break?
If it's crooked, make it straight
Do you love me? I can't tell
Pick up pieces and make me well

[Chorus]
In this house of broken things
In this house of broken things
Everyone could use some help
Will you help me fix myself?
I am fixing broken things
I am fixing broken things
Everybody celebrate
Now I got my business straight
