Bird in a Basement
Hey living thing, buy me a drinkand drive me out to the airportgive me two hundred dollars and saythe best thing anyone's ever saidif you steal every wordfrom your grandmother's purseand lay them out on the dash boardwe'll be fine...we'll be fine.Hey living thing, if you're turning inI'll wake you when something changesthen I'll ring all the bells againand you'll spill champagne in my shoesWe'll make rose-coloured smokefrom bad horoscopes, confetti from news pagesand you'll be mine...you'll be mine.and the same heart attackwill keep feeding backright under the streetskipping every other beatSongtexte(Hey living thing, let me in to the world you live in)Hey living thing, you've waited for itfor billions counting backwardslike a dog on a fire escape,like a bird in a basementNow release your breath from its paper bagand no matter what you hearif green lights should rain down tonightit means tomorrow's another yearThe same heart attackwill keep feeding backright under the streetskipping every other beatHey living thing, you're breathing againyou're breathing againHey living thing, you're breathing againyou're breathing againHey living thing, you're breathing againyou're breathing again Aus Songtexte Mania
