DAGMAR: LISTEN

BREATHE WE MUST

(DAGMAR)

Must not eat the poison berries along the way
Must not play with U.S. dollars when we’re floating in the U.K.

Must not brush the bottom of the sea
Must not drift too near the beach
Must not hang around the little black boats
Must not let them slither down our throats
But breathe we must, or die we will

Must not yield to temptation or we’ll burn in hell
Must not play with fire, or somebody will tell

Must not desecrate the black-and-white calf
Must not contemplate the golden mask
Must not consecrate the peel of an orange
Must not bless the ears of yellow corn

But breathe we must or die we will
Breathe we must or die we will
Breathe we must or die we will
Breathe we must or DIE . . . WE . . . WILL

Must not feel bad about ourselves inside
Must not spit out the pills that smooth the ride

Must not forget to put our seatbelts on
Must not fail to block the sun
Must not drink the water from the tap
Must not eat that inorganic crap

But breathe we must or die we will
Breathe we must or die we will
Breathe we must or die we will
Breathe we must or DIE . . . WE . . . WILL
