Dead Battery

Stephen Brodsky
She broke it off and there were no tears
Soon disappointment fell into my ears
All things combined, we came to a head
Reacting to words like they were red
A doorknob was broken
I've taken it home
The entrance was busted
But I should have known
A watchband was broken
I took it with me
Time only shows a dead battery
A neighbor of yours could understand me
But just for how long we'll have to see
A neighbor of mine will come to you
And where should I be well it depends what I do
A doorknob was broken
I've taken it home
The entrance was busted
When I should have known
A watchband was broken
I took it with me
Time only shows a dead battery
