Every Breath is Borrowed

V6

[Intro: Harmonium Drone, slow handclaps] [Alap: free-time vocal] Aaa… Hu… [Verse 1: lead, slow] I knocked upon the tavern and the tavern was a heart The cup was poured before I came, the end was in the start The cupbearer said nothing, only pointed at the floor Where all the ones who drank before had become the door [Chorus: lead and chorus answer] Dam dam, ya Hu (Hu!) Every breath is borrowed too (Hu!) Dam dam, ya Hu (Hu!) Nothing's mine, it's all of You [Handclaps accelerate] [Verse 2: faster] I came to buy forgetting but the price was memory The merchant laughed and handed back the coin I gave to me Seven heavens on a string, the needle threading through The fabric only holds because it's nothing but the view [Drop: half-time, tabla and sub-bass] [Chorus, frenzy, double time] [Synth Solo: ecstatic] [Final: chorus shouts] Hu! Hu! Hu! [Outro: harmonium alone]
