Water

Now everybody tells me you're the dog's best friend

I'm the cat's meow since I don't know when

I'm an instigator from a dead man's town

So when did the whole world turn upside down

When did you change your mind, when did you lose the juice

Now where did you get your attitude

When did you give it away, what did the old man say

And how many babies did you kick today

Now how many nights can the full Moon shine

How many bottles of water can you turn to wine

When the blood has flowed against the tides of time

And the water flows forever

Hey hey hey!

Now I'm gonna build a boat, I'm gonna make it float

'Cause I'm getting the chase for a faraway place

Gonna set the sail, gonna catch some wind

And the big red sky's gonna be my only friend

With a boat for two, just me and you

You can be my teacher, I can teach you too

Gonna try a few things that I've never done

Maybe talk to the fishies, maybe have some fun

Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars

While I dance a jig under the eyes of Mars

When we get to an island where no one's ever been

We can get down and dirty in our animal skins

And I stand with my thing hanging out in the wind

Where the water's sweet like honey

Hey hey yeah hey hey yeah!

I've been feeling a chill, from the east wind blue

It's been creeping up slow, have you felt it too?

Have you noticed the look? Have you felt the feel?

Did it make you blush when the piggy squealed

Have you heard what they say, did you read the news

Said the old man's coming home a-singing the blues

Gonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hide

Make your ears turn red, make you gonna cry

Now how many children gonna lose their minds

How many crying girls will be left behind

When the dead start walking and the full Moon shines

When the dead start walking and the full Moon shines

When the dead start walking and the full Moon shines

When the dead start walking and the full Moon shines

When the dead start walking... Yeah

Now everybody sing to the heavens above

And everybody dance to the sounds of love

Won't you clack your teeth, won't you smack your hands

Won't you dig your little heads right out of the sand

Won't you jiggle your butt, won't you wave your arms

Won't you look like you just came off of the farm

Won't you stop your fighting for a second or two

Won't you help your neighbors, won't you do the do

Won't you taste the sugar, won't you eat the cake

Won't you get your ugly mug right out of my face

Won't you tell your brothers and your sisters tonight

That you tasted the water and the water was right

Won't you taste the sugar, won't you dance the dance

Won't you wake up please, come on out of your trance

Everybody make believe that you disappear

For a second or two, gonna feel so queer

And you left behind all your rage and fear

And it made you feel like water
