The Waves - Villagers

Tekst piosenki

Intro

There are waves up in the diamond sky

Stronger than you and I

I'm 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 and you will recognize this grudge

Buried deep beneath the sands and 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 plain

The tents and the cars and the trains

And the trains of honeybees, cemetaries

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

Damn 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?

Just let the waves cover the coastal plain

The fear and the guilt and the pain

And the trains of honeybee jealousy, of well insulated bigotry

And if you don't agree, you'd better get back inside your cave

'Cause we're all dancing with the waves

Up in the diamond sky

Stronger than you and I

I'm a wave, I break through the barrier reef

Cut through the carbon sea, approaching the shore

Approaching the shore
