- The Mountain Goats
- How To Embrace A Swamp Creature
- Got out of bed, could not remember my own name
- Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame
- Go where I go, do what I must
- Crawl starving on my belly
- Licking up the dry dust
- I See the light in your window
- Ride the elevator to the sixth floor
- Stand with my arms at my sides as you open up the door
- But I'm out of my element I can't breathe
- I'm out of my element
- I can't breathe
- Alone with your bathroom mirror
- Try to get my head straight
- Breathe on the glass and wait for it to clear
- Clean slate
- Meet up with you in the kitchen
- Where the air is hot and dry
- Open up all the faucets
- Be fruitful and multiply
- I stand where the flashing swords gleam
- And I try to shake my head clear of the dream
- But I'm out of my element I can't breathe
- I'm out of my element
- I can't breathe
- I start to sweat I can't cool down
- I'm scared of all the strangers in this town
- I try to tell you just why I've come
- It's like I've got molasses on my tongue
- I made it through town somehow
- But who's going to save me now?
- I'm out of my element I can't breathe
- I'm out of my element
- I can't breathe
