Title:Breathe
Album:Youth in Asia

John was on his way over one Saturday and as usual, we weren't sure what we would be working on. On the way here, John had some inspiration and started singing a new song. Well, we decided to work on that. It became "Breathe."


Breathe

Breathe, Breathe in the air, inside your nightmare; you scream it’s not fair, though no one is there
Breathe, Breath in your life, through pain and through strife; you breathe in your life, you breathe out your life

Chorus;
But the road is weary and the road is long; along the way you stop writing love songs
Yes, her arms were wicked and her legs are long; but she never made love to Major Tom

Breathe, Breathe in the air, buyer beware, it’s do or dare, and leave some to share
Breathe, Breathe and remain, stay in the game don’t change your name, let’s try it again

Chorus;
You feel old and weary like the road you’re on; you feel that silent crack of dawn
Yes, her arms are wicked and her legs are long; but she never shared candy with Major Tom

Breathe, Don’t forget to breathe, I beg and I plead, please stay with me and still you leave
Breathe, Breathe or let go, for all we know, it’s the Gong Show, wherever we go

Chorus;2x
Yes, the road was weary and the road was long; and you kept writing your pale love songs
For the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon; and this little cow jumped over the moon

I’ve got the Cat Scratch Fever and a Girl with Brown Eyes, but I’ll never compete with Lucy in her skies
Yes, her arms were wicked and her legs were long, but she never made love to Lobster John
