Breaking Up Lyrics by Eskimo Joe
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
A handful of sand
Is all that you grab
As you're watching the money fall
Right through your hands
It took such a long, long time now
To build on demand
But this is a war in the cradle of
This modern man

Does this mean we're breaking up? [x3]
Like stones again? [x2]

A mouthful of glass
That cuts up your words
You better watch that nothing's falling out
Watching nothing is heard

Does this mean we're breaking up? [x3]
Like stones again?

It took a long, long, long, long time
To reverse, like a curse
It took a long, long, long, long time
Took long, long, long, long time

And these are the words in the pages of
And this is the law of unspoken love
And this is a war in the cradle of
This modern man

Does this mean we're breaking up? [x8]
Like stones again? [x8]
A handful of sand   Is all that you grab  As you're watching the money fall  Right through your hands  It took such a long, long time now  To build on demand  But this is a war in the cradle of  This modern man    Does this mean we're breaking up? [x3]  Like stones again? [x2]    A mouthful of glass  That cuts up your words  You better watch that nothing's falling out  Watching nothing is heard    Does this mean we're breaking up? [x3]  Like stones again?    It took a long, long, long, long time   To reverse, like a curse  It took a long, long, long, long time  Took long, long, long, long time    And these are the words in the pages of  And this is the law of unspoken love  And this is a war in the cradle of  This modern man    Does this mean we're breaking up? [x8]  Like stones again? [x8]
