Implosion - Jeff Hutchins

Implosion Lyrics

It’s a little bit old now,
Not what it used to be.
It’s been broken and repaired so many times.
I can remember
When it was a novelty
Now everybody sees that it no longer shines.
The city’s condemned it,
Declared it out of date.
Come Sunday morning they’ll be blowing it apart.
‘Cause since you left me,
No need to hesitate --
Everybody come to see
They’re gonna implode my heart.
They’ll be settin’ charges off in each artery,
It’ll be hard to see
How much it’s hurtin’ me.

Ever since you contended
That you’ll only be my friend
Everybody gather ‘round,
They’re gonna implode my heart.
Maybe it’s a victim
Of a conspiracy,
Some competing hearts that want to see it die.
Or maybe it’s my fault
An act of lunacy
That has led us here today to say goodbye.
When the bombs start going off there’ll be a lot of cheers,
Some guy hawkin’ beers
And tacky souvenirs.
But just wait another day,
They’ll be givin’ stuff away.
You can get a t-shirt
Says “I saw them implode his heart.”
There’ll be nothing left of me but an empty shell
What’s that awful smell?
It’s my heart blown to hell.
Once they clean up the debris
There’ll be nothing here to see
But a little marker that says:
“Former site of a heart.”
Whatever the reason,
It’ll be history.
There’ll be coffee table books to help recall
All of the good times
And some of the bad times, too
In those happy summer days before the fall.
Now the cops are clearing folks from the area
I wanted to marry ya,
Instead I’m just scaring ya.
Ever since you contended
That you’ll only be my friend
Everybody gather ‘round,
They’re gonna implode it,
Can’t watch, they’re gonna explode it,
Right now, they’re gonna implode my heart.
