Gordon Downie - Pascal's Submarine lyrics

There's not a breath of air tonight I got my windows all thrown open wide Praying for any little breeze To move the curtains shake the leaves Tonight Stumbled in to sleep's ravine Into a dream of Pascal's Submarine If you can remain quiet and still You might escape life's fill Of misery A woman's had all she can stand Hysterically screaming, "I'm waiting for my man" "Madam, we're doing all we can But can you give me your man's name again?" Are they dead or worse, alive? Is there something that you're trying to hide? Russian accent, Las Vegas Cap says "Can we talk about all that Inside?" With Klebanov within her grasp There's just one more think she's dying to ask They stuck a needle in her arm Saying, "Don't do yourself more harm" She collapsed There's not a breath of air tonight We got our windows all thrown open wide Praying for any little breeze For the skeletons, for the effigies Tonight
