Breakdown Lyrics - Rush - Black Gold

Your hands are shaking now 

You're short of breath 

You got to get away 

And start again 

And someone said 

"you are haiving a breakdown" 

And don't you know that 

You are best for the fall. 

(prechorus) 

Im telling you that this is going to be your tragic time. 

Stuck up in your private hand. 

And best to do in this tragic world 

And girl don't you make me watch you cry 

You're going mental 

And im feeling that you let go 

'cause they said she said I said that you know. 

(chorus) 

You're having a breakdown! 

You're having a breakdown! 

And all things you ask in your prayers 

are falling away now. 

I can't fall asleep 

I'm talking fast 

Standing side by side 

so close to me 

And someone said 

"you are sleeping away now." 

And don't you know that 

You, you placed yourself on that fall 

(prechorus) 

(Chorus) 

You know that you're trying to get somewhere 

when you're feeling like its all too much to bare. 

You know you got to watch your step 

Take a minute girl, catch your breath.
