Whatever Would Robert Have Said? Lyrics - Singles - Van Der Graaf Generator

I am the suck of air you take 

That you've had many times before; 

I am the blow you try to fake, 

But which still throws you out the door; 

I am the air that fills your lungs, 

But leaves you emptier below; 

I am the void that you can't explain, 

But which is where you want to go. 

Flame sucks between the balls of steel; 

Nothing moves, the air itself congeals. 

Look at the flame if you want to, 

Hear the sharp crack of the fission, 

Smell the brief vapor of ozone, 

Feel static motion. 

I am the love you try to hide, 

But which all can understand; 

I am the hate you still deny, 

Though the blood is on your hands; 

I am the peace you're searching for, 

But you know you'll never find; 

I am the pain you can't endure, 

But which tingles in your mind. 

Flame sucks between the balls of steel; 

Nothing moves, the air itself congeals. 

Look at the flame if you want to, 

Hear the sharp crack of the fission, 

Smell the brief vapor of ozone, 

Feel static motion.
