August Closing His Mouth After A Long Summer's Yawn Lyrics & Chords By Jason Webley

I think that we can breathe now, the world is over
Send all the children over now, red rover

When supply somehow met demand
An uncashed paycheck in my pocket

'Cause at least the air is clearer now

I think that we can breathe now, the world is over
Waiting in a field of nine-leaf clovers

Sipping tea in an oasis
While we watch the desert spread
And we're counting on our virtues

We had our chances to be fighters
Now we're burned-out twenty-something poetry writers

But seal our eyes and nostrils up with glue
And observe the sticky residue that's all that's left of me and...
