Mark Knopfler & David Crosby - What's Broken lyrics

Your rating:

Looking out on the buzzing city
Molecules go flying by
Standing here is a very lost disciple
How could it be that angels fly

They lie

Speaking out in a frozen language
You try to keep that heat inside 
Every face is a masterpiece of lonely
And every breath is rarefied

Who wants to see an abandoned soul
Who wants to try and open it
Who wants to know what desperate is
Who wants to buy what's broken

Dodging kindness like golden arrows,
Shading treasure from uncivil eyes,
Tunnels steaming with the breath of a dragon,
Cathedrals warming to the sunrise.

Who wants to see an abandoned soul
Who wants to try and open it
Who wants to know what desperate is
Who wants to buy what's broken

Who wants to see an abandoned soul
Who wants to try and open it
Who wants to know what desperate is
Who wants to buy what's broken

Looking out on a buzzing city
Molecules go flying by
Standing here is a very lost disciple
How could it be that angels lie?

Looking out on a buzzing city
Molecules go flying by
Standing here is a very lost disciple
How could it be that angels lie
They lie . . .

Speaking out in a frozen language
You try to keep that heat inside
Every face is a masterpiece of lonely
And every breath is rarified

Who wants to see an abandoned soul
Who wants to try and open it
Who wants know what desperate is
Who wants to buy what’s broken

Dodging kindness like golden arrows
Shading treasure from uncivil eyes
Tunnels steaming with the breath of a dragon
Cathedrals warming to the sunrise

Who wants to see an abandoned soul
Who wants to try and open it
Who wants know what desperate is
Who wants to buy what’s broken

Looking out on a buzzing city
Molecules go flying by
Standing here is a very lost disciple
How could it be that angels lie

Speaking out in the frozen language
You try to keep that heating fine
Every face is a masterpiece of knowledge
Every breath is verified

Should be
