Like a spider on the water
- like a sdteamboat on the sea
Like the rocks in whiskey - soda
- i am swimmin´ on the surface
Like a wave upon the ocean
- like a leaf on a pool
Like the reason on emotion
- i am swimmin´ on the surface
I´m tryin´ to get closer to
- i try to break those walls
In vain, i push but can´t get through
- i fail to touch your soul
I´dlike to see inside the case
- i´d like to find what counts
Instead i hide behind my face
- i´m driftin´ round and round
On the surface
Like a lightbeam fromm a mirror
- like a hammer from a string
Like an arrow from a hero
- i´m rebounding from the surface
Like a head through a brickwall
- like a sound through a deaf man´s ear
Like the truth through a sick soul
- i can´t pierce through the surface
I´m tryin´ to get...
Like a spider on the water
- like a steamboat on the sea
Like the rocks in whiskey - soda
- like ideas i don´t agree to
Like a tree trunk on the river
- like a bottle on a creek
Alike doubt that can´t touch believers
- i am swimmin´ on the surface
Right now i must get closer to
- i have to break those walls
I´ll push and shove til i get through
- til i can feel your soul
I wanna see inside the case
- i wanna find what counts
I´ll cease to hide behind my face
- enough or driftin´round
On the surface
