Lyrics: Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam

Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Deep, deep, deep, cough cough

[EnkexAlice]

i dont like this version at all. its so boring..

[Swordmaster10]

What were you expecting, a video, the video versions aren't like these at all. You can either have broadway or movie, not both.

[apklinker]

I'm so stuck in the wrong era.

[gothicargonaut]

I love this version, also! She has that edgy flintiness in her voice that's so appropriate for the subject matter. I can remember when Air was the flip-side of the 45 of Hair. Those were the days when Hair was the quintessential hippy statement and a "radical" broadway musical that your parents hated... groovy, man. Listening to Air again makes me want to find a copy of Paul Revere and the Raiders singing Cherokee Nation! Don't ask me why, it's crazy. "So proud to live, so proud to die."

I'm so glad to have found you, Swordmaster10! I remember my parents seeing this show live, here in New Zealand, and raving about it for months. Have been listening to all your songs off this album and can't believe I still know 'most' of the words and can sing along. I literally grew up with these songs - played the cassette so much it wore out. THANK YOU so much for the memories... and the lyrics ;)

@apklinker  I feel exactly the same way

[bdicat]

It amazes me when someone says they hate the original. If it weren't for this original, their would be no others.

I saw them live! My family is OBSESSED with musicals! Hair, rent, wicked, RHPS..we saw all of those live!

[GereDJ]

Whatever became of Sally Eaton? I heard she gave up on the U.S. and moved to Europe (as if they're any better)

[1955c]

when people were beautiful and civilized unlike today is that a fact or what?

[crackfarm76]

breath deep while you sleep, breath deep!

[emopinata12345]

Such a great song! Her voice is so cute and has a flirty flair to it. :)

[TravellerFellow]

[SawaaXoXo]
