Oxygen Lyrics

Oxygen: Amen! Oxygen: Amen!
I can breathe again. I can breathe again.
Oxygen -come in! Oxygen -come in!
Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen!
Black oil smoke
Thick blue sky
Dead red eye
Hear me cry
Eat my throat
Feed my mind
Yellow eye: Feel me cry
Take me now
Peel my skin
Scrape my vein
Seal me in
Break my bones
Dance and spin
Cut a hole
Feed me now!

I'll steal all the oxygen!

Hey there Dog Man, now I drink from your bowl
Hey there Mr Skull, I'm not scared of your kull
Oxygen! Amen! Oxygen! Amen!
Breathe in! Breathe in!

Cover art for Oxygen lyrics by Swans

Michael Gira once had a panic attack on stage during one of his first performances, and this caused him to hyperventilate to the point of suffocation. I think this song is about suffocating on stage while the crowd sits there cheering, and then he dies and goes to heaven.
