[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 seconds Here we go! [Post-Chorus] You are the air that I breathe! [Verse 2] Sweet annihilation 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 and turn this nightmare upside down and let's ride [Chorus] 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 seconds Here we go! [Post-Chorus] 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! All that I need! All that I need! [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 seconds Here we go!
