When Water Comes to Life - Cloud Cult

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.
