Breath And Burning

PHISH · Big Boat 2016 · Track 02 of 10

Written by Trey Anastasio

Breath and burning We are made of sand Slowly turning At the waves command

And what does it matter If the nightmares all came true? The black clouds that scattered across The sky so there's nothing left we can do

Let's celebrate while the hurricane Throws salt and water into the room The canary died The healer lied

The yellow fields disappeared too soon Mid-air voltage blooms and grows Unstoppable, it's instant heat And as sinners plea on bended knee

We'll be dancing here for days Breath and Burning We are made of sand Slowly turning At the waves command

And what does it matter That the end's in sight? We're not going gently We're gonna rage with P age at the dying of the light!

The sudden unexpected fate Of sunken ships Was our future path Your string of beads did nothing to

Prepare for you what was sure to pass Shadow wheels in shipping lanes The angry winds blew straight from hell And the tortoise pulls his head inside his shell

Breath and Burning We are made of sand Slowly turning At the waves command

And what does it matter? It'll be over soon Our heads on a platter So lets spin in the light of the moon

We've still got the light of the moon We'll dance in the light of the moon

Breath and Burning Breath and Burning Breath and Burning Breath and Burning
