Lyrics

[Intro]
Here we go
Break it down again
[Verse 1]
So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Headstrong like a horse
[PreChorus]
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
Ooh, ooh
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound
Ooh
[Chorus]
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 seeping underground
Break it down again
I wanna break it down
Break it down again
Break it down again
[Verse 2]
So those are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force
[PreChorus]
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
Ooh, ooh
In the world of silence
In the world of sound
Ooh
[Chorus]
"No sleep for 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 seeping underground
Break it down again
I wanna break it down
Break it down again
[Bridge]
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, pay to the crowd
Play, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution, maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you 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
[Outro]
Here we go
Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more walls are burning
