Something in the Air Live at the Elysée Montmartre Paris on 14th October 1999 by David Bowie Lyrics
[Intro]
This is the second song from 'hours...' and this one's called "Something in the Air"; first time we've ever done this one ever, ever
[Verse 1]
Your coat and hat are gone
I really can't look at your little empty shelf
Tagged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Don't look me in the eye
We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we lived it out, there's something in the air
We smiled too fast then can't think of a thing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Lived with the best times
Now we're left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
And there's nothing left to say
Let's take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
We've raced for the last time
A place of no return
[Chorus]
But there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long, yeah
Something I have to say
There's something in the air
[Verse 2]
Abracadoo, I lose you
We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake
Now we're going to pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Can't believe I'm asking you to go
We used what we could to get the things we want, oh
I guess we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted anyone else than you
[Pre-Chorus]
Lived all our best times
Now we're left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
You can say what you will, yeah
Say what you will
We raced for the last time
Well I know you hold your head up high
But there's nothing in our eyes
[Chorus]
But there's something in the air
There's something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
Wasn't there something I have to say
But there's something in my eye
There's something in the air
I've danced with you too long
And there's something in the air
[Outro]
Thank you
