Breathe in the air
Make for the meadow and savour the grass while it lasts
By and by
Shadowy fingers of industry reach for the sky
Brick upon brick, stone upon stone they grow
Choking the atmosphere oh so incredibly slowly
Sulfur and carbon and hydrogen sulphide and lime
Fever corrosion and cover your cities with grime
Something is killing the land before your eyes
And the sunshine
is not to blame
Could be the insane inhumane games we play
Day by day
Riddle and fool
Mushrooming home in a crowd, I'm alone
Close your eyes lie still
You are a mountain stream and I am a hill
Far, far away
There is a field of blossom and bees and new mown hay
Breathe in the air (x4)
