Breaking Out [O’Farrell/MacClancy]
Together as we lie.
The windows kiss a black night sky.
You ask me who am I.
And I make a sad reply.
Then you told me of your friend who found his brother headless
With a shotgun still smoking in his arms.
His mother never thought he’d come to any harm.
So slowly as I die
You can look into my eyes
And see the cold March sky
Breaking out
Breaking out
I’m reaching out
And kicking down.
Cars roll by with their windows closed
The city stands and watches them pass
Like a whore waiting for them to stop and ask
How much for a fuck without the mask.
So slowly as I die
You can look into my eyes
And see the cold March sky
Breaking out..etc
There is a corridor of paintings
Where every face is framed
I have taken you to walk there
You know communion’s found in shame
Together as we ly.
The windows kiss a black night sky.
You ask me who am I.
And I make a sad reply.
I’m Breaking out.etc
Must say Breaking Out is one of my all time Interference favorites. Such a sad and beautiful song. Also love Wild Bill’s Circus Scene, Nowhere, The Return… I guess I love ’em all. Thanks Fergus. Thanks Clancy. Thanks Interference.
