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 them 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 locks?
  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 here
  But 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
