lirik lagu william finn - i'm breaking down (1985)

[wife]
i’d like to be a princess on a throne
to have a country i can call my own
and a king
who’s l-sty and required a fling
with a female thing

great… men will be men…
let me turn on the gas
i saw them in the den
with marvin grabbing some guy’s -ss

oh sure, i’m sure, he’s sure he did his best
i mean he meant to be what he was not
the things he was are things which i forgot
he’s a queen, i’m a queen
where is our crown?

i’m breaking down
i’m breaking down
my life is sh-tting
and my kid seems like an idi-
-ot to me
oh no, that’s sick
i mean he’s great
it’s me who is the matter
talking madder than the maddest hatter

if i repeat one more word
i swear i’ll lose my brain
what else should i explain?
oh yes, it’s true i can cry on cue
but so can you
i’m breaking down
i’m breaking down
down, down
you ask me if it’s fun
to cry over nothing
it is
i’m breaking down

i think it’s strange because the s-x was good
it wasn’t great, but it was… knock on wood…
(knock, knock, knock)
sometimes fair
the truth though – he was au contraire
years before he’d dare
to try a little something
now, talking of then;
talking of when we met
i’d take his mouth and feet
and make them do-
well… i forget

i think it’s rotten how i lately feel
it’s like a nightmare how this all proceeds
i hope that whizzer don’t fulfill his needs
“don’t” is wrong!
sing along
what was the noun?

i’m breaking down
i’m breaking down
i’ll soon redecorate these stalls
i want some padding on the walls
and also pills
(i wanna sleep);
sure, things will prob’ly worsen
but it’s not like i’m a healthy person
i’ve rethought my talks with marv
and one fact does emerge;
i never liked my chin-
so that is why i am thinking thin
and on the brink of breaking down
i’m breaking down
down, down
i only wanna love
a man who can love me…

(spoken)
or like me…
or hold me…
or touch me…
or stand me…

(sung)
marvin was never mine
he took his meetings in the boys’ latrine
i used to cry
we’d make a scene
i’d rather die than dry clean
marvin’s wedding gown

i’m breaking down
i’m breaking down
it’s so upsetting how i found
that what’s rectangular is round
i mean it stinks
i mean, he’s… queer
and me, i’m just a freak
who needs it maybe every other week

i’ve rethought the fun we’ve had
and one fact does emerge:
i played the foolish clown
the almost-virgin who sings this dirge
is on the verge
of breaking down
i’m breaking down
down, down
the only thing that’s breaking up
is my marriage

the only thing that’s breaking up
is my marriage
but me, i’m breaking down
dooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn!!
