Radio Free Babylon™ IS COMING TO YOUR TOWN 

Broken Bread

From the album The Summer Land

Everyone I meet makes me smile
they make me smile
most of them, anyway
it only takes a little while
just a while
to see past the cold and gray

And what I don’t like in you
is what I hate about me
the things that you are
the way you can be
cold or just cool with a selfish streak
man, I see that in me

I want a prescription for x-ray vision
and you need to learn to bend steel
maybe we could leap some tall buildings
and in a single bound
we would feel the real deal

I think I’ll order the broken bread
we can split the two for one meal
I’ll try to keep my elbows off the table
and in a single bite
I’ll bet we’d taste the real deal

And there might be a few
there might be two or three
who aren’t quite mirrors
and you can’t quite see
shield your eyes or they’ll make you weak
straining so hard, yeah I see it in me

I’m not offering a deal
and you don’t need to make a trade
like I’ll dance in your sun
if you’ll walk in my shade
hot or just warm with a soft breeze
yeah, I see you in me

I want a prescription for x-ray vision
and you need to learn to bend steel
maybe we could crash some stone gates
and in a single bound
we would feel the real deal

Go on and order the broken bread
we’ll split the two for one meal
we’ll find a hot sauce we both can stand
and in a single bite
I’ll bet we taste the real deal
