Asthmatic
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
you are atomic, and we know, know, know
we're gonna be a disaster
so do it, to me
grow with every wheeze of asthma, shakes me to my knees
and we know, know, know, we're gonna be a disaster

asphyxiate my heart
i just don't know how you do it
(asphyxiate my heart)
i just don't know how you do it

oh boy, you hyperventilating toy
you are atomic, grow faster yeh
grow faster yeh

i just don't know how you do it
(asphyxiate my heart)
i just don't know how you do it

asthmatics do
asthmatics do it
asthma...wa..wa..wa..wa..wa..wa...
