Air Lyrics by Melba Moore, Shelley Plimpton

Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1968

[JEANIE]
Welcome, sulfur dioxide
Hello, carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere
Breathe deep
While you sleep
Breathe deep

Bless you, alcohol blood stream
Save me, nicotine lung steam
Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breathe deep
While you sleep
Breathe deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout, atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like
A sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome, sulfur dioxide
Hello, carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere
Breathe deep
While you sleep
Breathe deep
Deep
Deep, de-deep
