Breathe
This Pink Floyd cover was recorded in collaboration with Stardeath And White Dwarfs as part of a recreation of the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album. Both "Breathe" and its reprise following "Time" were recorded.
Breathe
Flaming Lips and Stardeath And White Dwarfs Version
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
Balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
Breathe Reprise
Flaming Lips and Stardeath And White Dwarfs Version
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
Flaming Lips and Stardeath And White Dwarfs Version
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Dig that hole, forget the sun
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
But only if you ride the tide
Balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
Flaming Lips and Stardeath And White Dwarfs Version
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
Discography Appearances
Live
The Lips specifically worked up "Breathe" for Bonnaroo 2003, pairing it with covers of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "Us And Them" in an encore celebrating the famous cross between Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wizard Of Oz. "Breathe" was retained in the setlist for other shows in 2003. In 2009, with its release as part of the Lips' version of The Dark Side Of The Moon, it was included in the full midnight performance of the album at the New Year's Eve show.
