Lyrics
------
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I look out to the fields
Where blood is shed upon the ground
I breathe in, I breathe out
Change the channel, mute the sound
I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head
My stomach's reeling at the thought of all those human beings dead

[Verse 2]
I breathe in, I breathe out
I'm going to an interview
About a song, three minutes long
I just need something to do
Especially when my dearest friend
Was sent to cover Kosovo
His last assignment brought a bullet
And now he's gone, he's gone

[Chorus 1]
Feels like I'm fiddling while Rome is burning down
Should I lay my fiddle down and take a rifle from the ground
I need a ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight
'Cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed

[Verse 3]
I packed his books up, left the office,
Went to tell the wife the news
She fell in shock, the baby kicked, and shed a tear inside the womb
I breathe in, I breathe out
Soak the ground up with my eyes
It's hard to say a healing word
When your tongue is paralyzed

[Chorus 2]
Feels like I'm fiddling while Rome is burning down
Should I lay my fiddle down and take a rifle from the ground
I need a ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight
'Cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed

I breathe in, I breathe out
I breathe in, I breathe out
I breathe in, I breathe out
