Keep On Breathing
The Delgados
I wonder if he knows
The pleasure that he shows
I can't seem to hide from the sounds around me
I wonder where she goes
Dressed up in those clothes
We just watch her drive away
A woman sees her friends
Continuous distraction
She fills up the days
While she waits for phone calls
A life in evidence
Is evidently lonely
We all need a tale to tell
Just another list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
My view is compromised
With undernourished eyes
They watch and they wait
For an altercation
These boxes on the road
These overpriced abodes
Will somebody give them life
We occupy a space
With barriers and fences
There's no line of sight
Into this protection
Forgive us all a cheat
Is just another symptom
We all need a tale to tell
Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons and all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We will watch and learn.
We will watch you perform,
Waiting behind the seat,
Telling the tale.
I wonder if he knows
How far his pleasure goes,
It all comes apart at the stroke of midnight.
I wonder where she goes
Now she's in some clothes.
We just hear her drive away.
Just another list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We will watch and learn
We will watch you perform
Waiting behind the scenes
Telling the tale
I wonder if he knows
How far his pleasure goes
It all comes apart of the stroke of midnight
I wonder where she goes
Now she's in some clothes
We just hear her drive away
Just another list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
Life just a list of consequences
Of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings
That we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons
And all the whys and wherefores
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
