Born In The Water |
Rolling hills all covered in suede |
I’m heat nervous and out of road |
Downtown, there’s a parade |
But I don’t think I wanna go |
Smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie |
I can speak my mother tongue |
Passing laws just because |
And singing songs of the English unsung |
How could you do it? |
How could you even try |
When you were born in the water |
And you were raised in the sky? |
Front seat stamped by the wind blows |
No erases in this game |
Arbitrary as the wind blows |
It’s another way to lay claim |
Ain’t no cause for bloodthirsting |
In a little town so dry |
Angels dance on a pinhead |
Just to make room for you and I |
How could you do it? |
How could you even try |
When you were born in the water |
And you were raised up in the sky? |
Thoroughbred with their great big heads |
Think a mile might be too far |
Highway horses laugh, but ofcourse |
When they don’t know where the hell they are |
Smart as trees in Sault Saint Maire |
Victorious mother tongue |
Passing laws just because |
And singing songs of the English unsung |
Well, how could you do it? |
How could you even try |
When you were born in the water |
And you were raised up? |
How could you do it? |
How could you even try |
When you were born in the water |
And you were raised up in the sky? |
