The Air That You Breathe - Lyrics by Nuno Bettencourt


Lyrics

I got a great big smile
But i got rotten teeth
My posture's kinda good
From my knees to my feet

And if i cut my hair
Most people they won't stare
But if people don't stare,
Who will care, who will care

I got me a tattoo, it makes me feel so tough
If someone would fight me please
God i need to be touched

The closest that i get
To ever feel your kiss
I get to take a drag off a used cigarette

Sometimes i think i'm better off dead
But then if i'm dead, they'll bury my head
If i can't use my lips, can't kiss the air
Why kiss the air?
(cause it's the air you breathe)

Sometimes i wish i wish
I wish that i was sick
Cause then i would belong to a popular plauge
Sometimes i wish i wish
I wish that i was green
I could fight for my rights, i would march standing tall

All i wanted was you, all i wanted was you
But you don't notice me
You despise, you despise

Sometimes i think i'm better off dead
But then if i'm dead, they'll bury my head
If i can't use my lips, can't kiss the air
Why kiss the air?
(cause it's the air you breathe)

The closest that i get to ever feel your kiss
I get to take a drag off a used cigarette
All i wanted was you
All i wanted was you
But you don't notice me
You despise, you despise

If all you wanted was
If all you wanted was life
You would then recognize me
