Through all of the shirts and all of the skins And all of the half-hearted "how you beens" The megaphone malice, the rumoured refrain Through all of the rules and all of the fools And all of the "so dead after schools" And all of the bullshit school yard engrains You had to breathe in And breath out And breathe in Before all the chills, before all the pills Before all those '40 movie stills Leered back like spectres, suddenly strange When all of the world was all about chance Was all about "hold onto you hat" Her heels on tarmac pattered like rain She liked to breathe in And breath out And breathe in And Breathe out again Home again boy Home again soon From crib to tomb Through all of the near and all of the far And all of the "wonder where you are" And all of the false and all of the true With all of the stop and none of the go Only these faces in the snow And the fog and in the window tell me its true I'm still breathing in And breathing out Breathing in And breathing out again
