Dave Pirner Teach Me To Breathe
Sandman blow a little sand in my eyes
Knock me out twice, make me wise
I have never slept a day in my life
I could not cry myself to sleep
Spending the day getting ready to go out
Wondering which mask to wear
Twisting the crank on the oxygen tank
Whisper a prayer for the air
Please teach me to breathe
Remind me how I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot the story's dismembered
Milkman give a little sweet stuff to me
I miss me ma, I miss her kiss
I could never let her know that I'm here
A sweetheart like me in a dump like this
Looking for ways just to rationalize madness
What was I so mad about
All of these things that I've always avoided
Constantly keep coming out
So please teach me to breathe
Remind me how I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot the story's dismembered
Now I'd kindly like to go for the walk
Talk with myself and work it out
If I'd only just remember to breathe
I'd understand what you see
