Hey living thing, buy me a drink And drive me out to the airport Give me two hundred dollars and say The best thing anyone's ever said If you steal every word from your grandmothers' purse And lay them out on the dashboard We'll be fine... Hey living thing, if you're turning in I'll wake you when something changes Then I'll ring all the bells again And you'll spill champagne in my shoes We'll make rose-coloured smoke from bad horoscopes, Confetti from news pages And you'll be mine... The same heart attack Will keep feeding back Right under the streets Skipping every other beat So hey living thing, let me in To the world you're living in Hey living thing, you've waited for it From billions counting backwards Like a dog on a fire escape Like a bird in a basement Now release your breath form it's paper bag And no matter what you hear, If green lights come raining down tonight It means tomorrow's another year... And the same heart attack Will keep feeding back Right under the streets Skipping every other beat Hey living thing, you're breathing again You're breathing again...
