in a moment buildings rise up   as they start to fall   it's in these seconds   that she swears you can't hear much at all      it never seems to last      in this warm wet rain   i come around again   and with this sense of rapture   i would only lose my head      it never seems to last      so put on sunday shoes   dance the breakdown   so put on sunday shoes   come on dance the breakdown      and here we find ourselves in motion   on and off again   so lose the dead weight darling   it's everything you've never been      it never seems to last      if i could get this close to open hands   like open flames   then i might find myself in   different faces, different names      it never seems to last      so put on sunday shoes   dance the breakdown   so put on sunday shoes   come on dance the breakdown      madeline   in pictures by the sea   it's always there   it's always wrong   laugh   but it'll get you   wait and see
