Hohum Lyrics by Pinback

Hohum

it's a fact, I know it
there's somethings I can't live down
yes indeed, I've blown it
it's a black eye on the gang

no one's gonna take the pair of scissors
stuck in my arm from you
no one's gonna try to repair the
messages that you pushed me to

look out, falling boy comes down
he's about to take you out [oh, everybody now]
as the wind is screaming through his ears
it's a very private sound [oh, everybody now]

no one likes me when I'm shy
caught up in a bet I've lost again
caught up in the trap I don't wanna be in no more

you forget I'm awake
I forget I'm awake
you forget I'm awake
I forget I'm awake

I want to breathe in blue
I want to breathe in blue
I want to breathe in blue
[green as the sky from under the pond]
I want to breathe in blue
I want to breathe in blue
[clear, so it must be a mirage]
I want to breathe in blue
I want to breathe in blue
[green as the sky from under the pond]
I want to breathe in blue
I want to breathe in blue
[I wanna breathe in blue, too, may I?]
I want to breathe in blue
