It seems we're headed for a total breakdown   It keeps on getting harder to connect   If this is not a war between the sexes   Well then some kind of hex is in effect      The ones we used to call the happy couple   Have given up on romance altogether   How that perfect one could come undone   Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather      Lines are down, streets are redded   Pipes cracked, apartments gutted   The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough   Everybody's breakin' up      Verse:   It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse   An ending to this fractured fairy tale   What once upon a time were little home sweet homes   Are now just houses up for sale      Streets ahush, a grim reminder   No lovers laughter, no organ grinder   He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup   Seems like everybody's breakin' up      Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis   We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices      The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough   Everybody's breakin' up
