Air 164 Lyrics

Another dog day, a crystal memory
Another broken body aching for recovery
Another road kill, another pantomime
With the city slicker jitters, as the Nasdaq index flickers
They're gonna start charging for the air that you breathe
So love your neighbour, and love your enemy
But don't you do it in a place where anyone can see
So won't you lay down, and spend some time with me
Well I'm hoping that you're joking
I always thought that love was free
They're gonna start charging for the air that you breathe
In the spotlight, new aristocracy
Why send a middleman to come and get a piece of me
BlackJacks, blasting caps,
Billy clubs and baseball bats
BB guns and acrobats
A pure emotion body lotion
They're gonna start charging for the air that you breathe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. Pretty good criticism of today's society.

This part is probably her best:

"So love your neighbour, and love your enemy But don't you do it in a place where anyone can see So won't you lay down, and spend some time with me Well I'm hoping that you're joking I always thought that love was free They're gonna start charging for the air that you breathe"
