Oh Oh Oh Oh Break it down again So those are my dreams And these are my eyes Stand tall like a man Headstrong like a horse When it's all mixed up Better break it down Oo, oo. Oo, oo In the world of secrets In the world of sound Oo, oo It's in the way you're always hiding from the light See for yourself, you have been sitting on a time bomb No revolution maybe someone somewhere else Could show you something new about you and your inner song And all the love, and all the love in the world Won't stop the rain from falling Waste sleeping underground (break it down again) I want to break it down (break it down again) Break it down again So those are my schemes And these are my plans Hot tips for the boys Fresh news from the force When it's all mixed up Better break it down Oo, oo. Oo, oo In the world of silence In the world of sound Oo, oo "No sleep for the dreaming" say the architects of life Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice? They make no mention of the beauty of decay Blue, yellow, pink umbrella, save it for a rainy day And all the love, and all the love in the world Won't stop the rain from falling Waste sleeping underground (break it down again) I want to break it down (break it down again) Horsing around Pray to the power Play to the crowd with your big hit sound And they won't simmer Won't simmer Won't simmer down Play to the crowd Play to the crowd It's in the way you're always hiding from the light Last off to heaven just like moses on a motorbike No revolution maybe someone else somewhere else Could show you something new to help with the ups and downs Break it down again I want to break it down Break it down again Break it down again (break it down again) Break it down again (break it down again) Break it down again No more sleepy dreaming No more building up It is time to dissolve Break it down again No more sleepy dreaming
