Lyrics Paul Westerberg

Paul Westerberg

Breathe Some New Life

Well we made a mad dash for the good life

And we passed when we weren't looking

And we made a swift retreat to the danger

That we'd see every evening

It ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

I wanna breathe some new life

Breathe some new life

Some new life

Ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

Got my way, tend to sway 'cause my vision now is slanted

And cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted

I wanna breathe some new life

Breathe some new life

Breathe some new life

It ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

Teach me to die, a butterfly soft and slow, deep in the meadow

Peace to my soul, I'm good to go, I'm prepared, Lord to travel

Ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

I wanna breathe some new life…

Please forgive my sins, once again

I will fall and I will fail

Interlude #3

We're almost at the start of a brand new lie

There're drink and drugs and smokes and shrugs

And only you'd ask why

No need for firearms

With a pair of burning eyes

Suffer fools no longer

The folker never dies...
