Halloween has started up a nuclear war
Down at the video arcade nobody won
It cost a quarter

The other kid is flashy as I'm gaining once and more
But she comes as is with headphones
Headaches, and bedrooms without telephones

It's extra for the blackouts
When she breaks down she is yours
She needs someone that fixes things to
Come replace the lights inside her

But you break it, you buy it
But you break it, you buy it
Be careful
Be careful

There are a million silent armies carted?
To defend the broken-hearted girl
[To defend the broken-hearted girl]
To defend the broken-hearted girl

Well you're punctual and experienced just like a beginner
But your, all your advances come back before delivered
Marked return to sender, what?

Blue black shoes to bar room
she is echoed 'cross the ceiling
Or like time stuck to the bells without bells all
" it's just your name you're hearing"

So be careful
Be careful

There are a million silent armies started
To defend the broken-hearted girl
And the prayers of all the broken-hearted girls
You made invisible when you tried to make them yours

If what you're taking isn't workin' out
Then just stop taking it
If what you're taking isn't workin'

If what you're taking isn't workin' out
Then just stop taking it
Just stop takin' it if it ain't workin' out
Be careful

To defend the broken-hearted girls
With the bells that say her name
It's only hers say
Say yours

Wake up
Wake up, she's handing you your dictionary
