Strolling through the slaughterhouse of love
Rags and ruins and stars above
I'm as naked as I can be in this life
This labyrinth is only one straight line
Back and forth, up and down your spine
Emptiness of heaven in your ears and my eyes

One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four and five
Seconds to live
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four and five
Is all I can give
One one thousand, Two one thousand, Three one thousand
Four and five seconds again
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five second, here we go!
You are the air that I breathe!

Sweet annhilation in your hands
Your own personal Stalingrad
I'm just a piece of archaeology in your mind
I'll be your private amusement park
Rollercoasterin' in the dark
Come into me slide you upside down
And let's ride...

One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four and five
Seconds to live
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four and five
Is all I can give
One one thousand, Two one thousand, Three one thousand
Four and five seconds again
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five second here we go!
You are the air that I breathe!
You are the air that I breathe!
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
(Don't pull my nerve!)
You are the air that I breathe!
You are the air that I breathe
All that I need!
All that I need!

Our house is burning right before our eyes
And ain't nobody a bit surprised
You prayed for rain and I fell down all night
Love me till the ambulance arrives
Until I can't hear the screams and cries
And I'll be choking on my ABC's all night

One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four and five
Seconds to live
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
Four and five
Is all I can give
One one thousand, Two one thousand, Three one thousand
Four and five seconds again
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five second here we go!
You are the air that I breathe!
