Standing On the Water

Why do we surround ourselves with houses and big cars

And try to make out? We got it made

When nothing really belongs to us, we're only passing through

We're part of a mascarade

When we're standing on the water, talking to the wall

Making so much matter up, there's no matter at all

Got to get a hold of ourselves, so easy to fall

Standing on the water talking to the wall

Yet we look around us, we see trouble everywhere

Living off the air that we breathe

I know we like to hang out in the country for a while

There's something that you just can't believe

When we're standing on the water, talking to the wall

Making so much matter up, there's no matter at all

Got to get a hold of ourselves, so easy to fall

When we're standing on the water, talking to the wall

So many pictures looking at us through a smile

Making us one thing we don't need

So many people telling us just what to do

What we are, and what we should be

When we're standing on the water, talking to the wall

Making so much matter up, there's no matter at all

Got to get a hold of ourselves, so easy to fall

Standing on the water, talking to the wall

Talking to the wall

Talking to the wall
