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 mouse trap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back
Broke into the old apartment
Fourty-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 locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live
How is the neighbor 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
And 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
