 102 Broken nights, broken days,
 103 Broken leaves on broken trees,
 104 Broken treaties, broken vows,
 105 Broken hands on broken plows.
 106 Ain't no use runnin', honey,
 107 Ain't no use jokin'
 108 Nothing's workin'
 109 Everything is broken.
 110
 111 Broken lives, hangin' by a thread,
 112 Broken bones in a broken bed,
 113 Broken mirror, broken chair,
 114 Broken roads, goin' nowhere.
 115 Broken words never meant to be spoken,
 116 Can't help it, honey,
 117 Everything broken.
 118
 119 I send you roses once from a heart that was truly grieved
 120 Send you roses someone else must have received
 121
 122 Broken clock, on a broken wall
 123 Broken voices in a broken hall
 124 Broken beginnings, broken ends
 125 Streets are filled with broken friends
 126 Take a deep breath, baby, feel like you're chokin',
 127 Tell me the truth now,
 128 Everything broken.

 130 Seen James Dean in a picture once, comin' in from the cold
 131 Say, geez, I hope I look that good, if I get to be that old
 132
 133 Broken flesh on a broken floor,
 134 Broken key, for a broken door
 135 Broken idols, broken heroes,
 136 Broken numbers, addin' up to zeroes
 137 Hound dog's howling, bull frog's croakin',
 138 It ain't easy, baby,
 139 Everything broken.
