August Closing His Mouth After a Long Summer’s Yawn

[Chorus 1]
I think that we can breathe now, the world is over
Send all the children over now, red rover

[Verse 1]
I guess the world stopped spinning
When supply somehow met demand
Uncashed paycheck in my pocket
And atom bombs in Pakistan

[Verse 2]
Now I'm sitting on a bus
A shade too tired to be annoyed
While two human avocados
A shade too loudly discuss Freud

[Refrain]
But that's okay
The experts say
At least the air is clearer now

[Chorus 2]
I think that we can breathe now, the world is over
We're standing in a field of nine-leaf clover

[Verse 3]
Sipping tea in an oasis
While we watch the desert spread
And we're counting on our virtues
'Cause it's too hard to count the dead

[Verse 4]
There's a pretty girl beside me
Think she wants to hold my hand
But she's speaking in a tongue
I think I'll never understand

[Refrain]
But that's okay
The experts say
At least the air is clearer now

[Outro]
I think that we can breathe now, the world is over
We had our chances to be fighters
Now we're burnt out twentysomething poetry writers
Yeah, I guess we all can breathe now, the world is over
Guess there's nothing really left to do
But seal our eyes and nostrils up with glue
And observe the sticky residue
That's all that's left of me and
