One day I will fill my lungs

With pollutants and oxygen

There won't be another one to fill them

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh

Ohhh

One day I will find my veins

Straining until they wax and wane

When the beast is finally tame I'll leave its pen

So if there's something to say, say it loud

And if there's something to do, show me how

I've been broken and I've been battered, but this body's not forever

So love me in the here and now

Ohhh

Ohhh

I am from the dark sweet land

From the ribs of Adam

Nothing in my temperament makes me different from him

Borne by the girl next door

Nothing less and nothing more

Weaving in my little cord in the loom by hand

So if there's something to say, say it loud

And if there's something to do, show me how

Oh, I've been broken and I've been battered, but this body's not forever

So love me in the here—

And if there's something to say, say it loud

And if there's something to do, I'll show you how

Oh, you've been broken and you've been battered, but this body's not forever

So I'll love you in the here and now

Love you in the here and now

Love you in the here and now
