St Vincent covers Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ “Breaking the Girl” at Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles (video shot by Paw)

I am a man cut from the know Rarely do friends come and then go She was a girl, soft but estranged We were the two, our lives rearranged

Feeling so good that day A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning You’re breaking the girl (She meant you no harm) Think you’re so clever But now you must sever You’re breaking the girl (He loves no one else)

Raised by my dad, girl of the day He was my man, that was the way She was the girl, left alone Feeling the need to make me her home

I don’t know what, when or why The twilight of love had arrived

Twisting and turning Your feelings are burning You’re breaking the girl (She meant you no harm) Think you’re so clever But now you must sever You’re breaking the girl (He loves no one else)

Twisting and turning Your feelings are burning You’re breaking the girl (She meant you no harm) Think you’re so clever But now you must sever You’re breaking the girl (He loves no one else)
