Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
How you live and how you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, catch the sun
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
How you live and how you fly
But only if you ride the tide
Balanced on the biggest wave
Race towards an early grave
Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch for rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is come, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to the knees
And hear the softly spoken magic spell
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
A new car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Learjet
Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away
Us and them
And after all, we're only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward, he cried, from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat
As the lines on the map moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which, and who is who?
Up and down
And in the end, it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard, it's a battle of words
And most of them are mine
Listen, son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and out
It can't be helped if there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day, the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with all the bones, too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You rearrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door, throw away the key
There's someone in my head, but it's not me
And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow, or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
How you live and how you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, catch the sun
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
