Living breathing human beings Inhabit my periphery In glorious pa**ivity I am surrounded All of them have names and faces Loving friends and close relations Secrets kept in sordid places Don't you tell a soul Living breathing human beings Are s**ing all my energy With coughing fits a eulogy Will be in order With blame alive like crooked teeth The gaps aflame with subtlety And everyone including me Is moving backwards A simple, sterile, solitary kitchen sink With faith will bring together everything Could I sleep for just one night here on your floor? I wouldn't ask for more Living breathing human beings Are walking, running, hurrying On paper routes and studying We're so much smarter Adding to our knowledge bases Learning facts to get us places Building our own brand new nation Let my people go Living breathing human beings Are pa**ed out in pools of anything Drowned in words and cycling Through cartoon movies I remember everything That anybody says to me So I burn CDs to give for free A simple, sterile, solitary kitchen sink With faith will bring together everything Could I sleep for just one night here on your floor? I wouldn't ask for more
