BREAK DOWN ON ME
(Jason Mitchell)

I found you on the lonely shelf
While at the all-night store

We got together on a new thing
Though we had met before

We tried to keep that thing on track
Me looking forward, you looking back

Never look back if you want the future
'Cause you're bound to miss on what's today

There's a story inside you
But it's too hard for you to say

It took a minute to settle in
This wasn't gonna be whole again

You had to break down on me
You had to break down on me
A cruel illusion of a fantasy
You had to break down on me

We tried to keep that thing on track
Me looking forward, you looking back

Never look back if you want the future
You'll rob yourself of what's today
And you can't relive it anyway
Just an attic filled with your dismay

You had to break down on me

Their first album, Retro Energy (2002), staked out a unique sound, and the band was a presence in Phoenix for years, playing shows with Kool & the Gang, Al Green, & George Benson. After a 9 year break, Calumet has been reborn and is once again bringing the funk to Arizona and beyond. ... more
