Breathe, breathe in the airDon't be afraid to careLeave but don't leave meLook around and choose your own groundFor long you live and high you flyAnd smiles you'll give and tears you'll cryAnd all you touch and all you seeIs all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit runDig that hole, forget the sun,And when at last the work is doneDon't sit down it's time to dig another oneFor long you live and high you flyBut only if you ride the tideAnd balanced on the biggest waveYou race toward an early grave.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull dayYou fritter and waste the hours in an off hand wayKicking around on a piece of ground in your home townWaiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rainYou are young and life is long and there is time to kill todayAnd then one day you find ten years have got behind youNo one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinkingAnd racing around to come up behind you againThe sun is the same in a relative way, but you're olderAnd shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the timePlans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled linesHanging on in quiet desperation is the English wayThe time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Breathe Reprise
Home, home againI like to be here when I canWhen I come home cold and tired1It's good to warm my bones beside the fireFar away across the fieldThe tolling of the iron bellCalls the faithfullsic to their kneesTo hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Money, get awayGet a good job with more pay and yoursic O.K.Money it's a gasGrab that cash with both hands and make a stashNew car, caviar, four star daydream,Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get backI'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.1Money it's a hitDon't give me that do goody good bullshitI'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling setAnd I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crimeShare it fairly but don't take a slice of my pieMoney so they sayIs the root of all evil todayBut if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they'regiving none away
Away, away, away, away, away, away, away.2

Us, and themAnd after all we're only ordinary menMe, and youGod only knows it's not what we would choose to doForward he cried from the rearand the front rank diedAnd the General sat, and the lines on the mapmoved from side to sideBlack and blueAnd who knows which is which and who is whoUp and DownAnd in the end it's only round and round and roundHaven't you heard it's a battle of wordsthe poster bearer criedListen son, said the man with the gunThere's room for you inside
Down and OutIt can't be helped but there's a lot of it aboutWith, withoutAnd who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about2Get out of the way, it's a busy dayAnd I've got things on my mindFor want of the price of tea and a sliceThe old man died

The lunatic is on the grassThe lunatic is on the grassRemembering games and daisy chains and laughsGot to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hallThe lunatics are in my hallThe paper holds their folded faces to the floorAnd every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soonAnd if there is no room upon the hillAnd if your head explodes with dark forbodings tooI'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my headThe lunatic is in my headYou raise the blade, you make the changeYou rearrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the doorAnd throw away the keyThere's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your earYou shout and no one seems to hearAnd if the band you're in starts playing different tunesI'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
