Everybody's Breaking Up - Alannah Myles

It seems we’re headed for a total breakdown

It keeps on getting harder to connect

If this is not a war between the sexes

Well then some kind of hex is in effect

The ones we used to call the happy couple

Have given up on romance altogether

How that perfect one could come undone

Looks like love’s in for a run of nasty weather

Lines are down, streets are redded

Pipes cracked, apartments gutted

The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin’s gettin' tough

Everybody’s breakin' up

It seems we’ve come upon some kind of impasse

An ending to this fractured fairy tale

What once upon a time were little home sweet homes

Are now just houses up for sale

Streets ahush, a grim reminder

No lovers laughter, no organ grinder

He’s out of work, the monkey run off with the cup

Seems like everybody’s breakin' up

Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis

We’re comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices

The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin’s gettin' tough

Everybody’s breakin' up
