The Waves |
| There are waves |
| Up in the diamond sky |
| Stronger than you and I |
| Am a wave |
| I break through the barrier reef |
| Cut through the carbon sea |
| Approaching the shore |
| Look at the sky, look at the trees |
| Man, it’s all the same to me |
| Look at the cars, look at the birds |
| And all of these invented words |
| One body’s dying breath is another’s birth |
| What are you running from? |
| What are you running from? |
| Sister jury, brother judge |
| In you I recognize this grudge |
| Buried deep beneath the sands |
| Of these ridiculous demands |
| No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence |
| What are you gonna do? |
| What are you gonna do? |
| When the waves |
| Cover the coastal plains |
| The tents and the cars and the trains |
| And the trace of honeybee cemeteries |
| Of well insulated dignitaries |
| All screaming of the memory of a human love |
| For anything, or anyone |
| Look at the birds, look at the bees |
| Madam, it’s all the same to me |
| Look at the girls, look at the gold |
| Gathered, beat and bought and sold |
| One man’s innocence is another’s chance |
| What were you thinking of? |
| What were you thinking of? |
| Now please let me boil it down to this, my son |
| This party’s getting wet, but it ain’t over yet |
| So what is it gonna be? |
| What is it gonna be? |
| What is it gonna be? |
| Just let the waves |
| Cover the coastal plains |
| The fear and the guilt and the pain |
| And the trace of honeybee jealousy |
| Of well insulated bigotry |
| And if you don’t agree |
| You better get back inside your cave |
| Cause we’re all dancing with the waves |
| Up in the diamond sky |
| Stronger than you and I |
| Am a wave |
| I break through the barrier reef |
| Cut through the carbon sea |
| Approaching the shore |
