Breathe

Roger Waters

Breathe in the air 
Make for the meadow and savour the grass while it lasts 
By and by 
Spidery fingers of industry reach for the sky 
Brick upon brick, stone upon stone they grow 
Choking the atmosphere, oh, so incredibly slowly 
Sulphur and carbon and hydrogen sulphide and lime 
Fever, corrosion, and cover your cities with grime 
Something is killing the land before your eyes 
And the sunshine 
Is not to blame 
Could be the insane, inhumane games we play 
Day by day 
Riddle and fool 
Mushrooming home in a crowd, I'm alone 
Close your eyes, lie still 
You are a mountain stream and I am a hill 
Far, far away 
There is a field of blossom and bees and new mown hay 
Breathe in the air 
Breathe in the air 
Breathe in the air 
Breathe in the air
