Dave Pirner - Teach Me To Breathe lyrics

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
