Standing On the Water

Why do we surround ourselves with houses and big cars Trying to make out we got it made When nothing really belongs to us We're only passing through We're part of a maskerade When you are standing on the water Talking to the walls Making so much matter Out of no matter at all Got to get a hold of ourselves So easy to fall Talking to the walls We act we look around us We see trouble everywhere Thieving money air that we breath I know we would like to hang out In the country for a while There is something that you just can't believe When we're standing on the water Talking to the walls Making so much matter That's of 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 walls So many pictures looking at us through a smile Making us want things 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 walls Making so much matter That's of no matter at all Got to get a hold of ourselves So easy to fall Talking to the walls Talking to the walls Talking to the walls
