|
And when the angels come |
|
They'll cut you down the middle |
|
To see if you're still there |
|
To see if you're still there |
|
And underneath your ribs |
|
They'll find a heart-shaped locket |
|
An old photograph |
|
Of you in daddy's arms |
|
And then they'll sew you closed |
|
And give you back to the water |
|
From where we're all born |
|
From where we're all born |
|
And you'll feed the ghosts |
|
And you'll feed the living |
|
You'll be a stranger, and you'll be a friend |
|
You'll be the leper, and you'll be the healer |
|
You'll be the hero, and the tragedy |
|
And when they sew you closed |
|
They'll give you back to the water |
|
From where we're all born |
|
And when they burn your body |
|
All that's left is sand crystals |
|
Two tiny handfuls |
|
All the rest is water, water, water, water |
|
All you need to know |
|
Is you were born of water |
|
You are made of water |
|
You are living water, water, water, water |
|
All you need to know |
|
Is you were born of water |
|
You are made of water |
|
You are living water, water, water, water. |
