lyrics

A broken hearted record knowing only to be lonely
A broken hearted record playing slowly

While I weep and wonder, my restless heart will wander
Between recurring visions are rambling ambitions
By my lust my heart gathers dust
Who would be so friendly as to mend me, and show me trust

A broken hearted record knowing only to be lonely
A broken hearted record playing slowly
A broken hearted record knowing only to be lonely
A broken hearted record playing slowly
Turning slowly

Frightened, foolish, feet first, I gently glide towards her
Between the paths revolving, I seek to sate my longing
Ever smitten and stupefied
Without a guide the carousel is a dizzying ride
Dizzying ride

A broken hearted record knowing only to be lonely
A broken hearted record playing slowly
A broken hearted record knowing only to be lonely
A broken hearted record playing slowly
Turning slowly

A broken hearted record knowing only to be lonely
