[Verse 1]
Assassination of the voice of God
I don't know if I can do it
I've found the problem and the problem's you
I'm here to pick up the pieces
You won't remember me but I do you
I told you that I would come back
Everything will be decided here
They can read it in the papers

[Chorus]
Your breathing haunts me
My breathing?
The sleeproom still waits for me

[Verse 2]
Join the army you can see the world
I remember this one patrol
Been liberating river towns
And we picked up the sex skin crawl
We would sing the new leader's song
Everyone invented stories
The connection was a fragile thing
Far too many distractions

[Chorus]
Your breathing haunts me
My breathing?
The sleeproom still waits for me

[Verse 3]
I've been listening to the new DJ
What's all this original con?
We all live in the same museum
We all rearrange the same old song
Assassination by the radio
I don't know if they can do it
I've found the problem and the problem's one
I'm here to pick up the pieces

[Chorus]
Your breathing haunts me
My breathing?
The sleeproom still waits for me
