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? |
