Old Apartment - Bare Naked Ladies

Broke into the old apartment

This is where we used to live

Broken glass,

Broke and hungry,

Broken hearts, and broken bones

This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?

Why did you clean the floor?

Why did you plaster over

the hole I punched in the door?

This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?

Why did you keep the dishrack?

These things used to be mine

I guess they still are,

I want 'em back

Broke into the old apartment

Forty-two stairs from the street

Crooked Landing

Crooked Landlord

Narrow laneway filled with crooks

This is where we used to live

Why did they pave the lawn?

Why did they change the lock?

Why did I have to break it?

I only came here to talk

This is where we used to live

How is the neighbour downstairs?

How is her temper this year?

I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor,

Just for fun

I know we don't live here anymore

We bought an old house on the Danforth

She loves me, and her body keeps me warm

I'm happy there

This is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment

Tore the phone out of the wall

Only memories, fading memories

Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back

I want them back

This is where we used to live

I want them back

This is where we used to live

I want them back

This is where we used to live

I want them back
