Something's in the air
Making little children cry
Seeking all of those who ramble
Looking through the flickering eye
Something's in the air
Planting anger in young minds
Telling you to fear your neighbor
Rolling down the metal blinds
Something's in the air
Placing silver upon heads
Devoid of logic, sense or reason
Turning windmills into threats
Something's in the air
Sitting in our midst
We want it to leave but it doesn't move at all
The song abruptly ended
The rhymes are bleak and stale
The last curtain call was years ago
So grab that bottle and drink till things seem well again someday
And we'll be dancers in the city streets once more
Something's dragging on
Already longer than it should
Keeping tensions higher than anything else before it could
Something's dragging on
Dragging down the writer's hope
Chaos lurking in each corner
A slipknot round the throat
Something's dragging on
Has a shackle round our foot
Aiding those with heaps of money
Taken from the hungry crook
Something's dragging on
Leaching out the juice
Having each and everyone of us enthralled and appalled
To you we kindly say
Postpone your lives for now
There's nothing waiting out there anyway
You better grab that bottle and drink till things seem well again someday
And we'll be dancers in the city streets once more
