Out of the Rubble

Behold the cracks you stand on in the cold Locked up, we counted boarded houses On the street where we would live If the earth hadn't shaken everything off of it Come to me dear, come closer Set 'em up and knock 'em over And then it happened like this The lesson I missed was when we hit it on the head Something has got to give Something has got to...
