Born In The Water (Outtake)

Rolling hills all covered in suede

I'm heat nervous and out of road

Downtown there's a parade

But I don't think I want to go

Smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie

I can speak my mother tongue

Passing laws, just because

And singing songs of the English unsung

Well, how could you do it?

Well, how could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up in the sky?

Front seat stamped by the window

No erasees in this game

Arbitrary as the wind blows

It's another way to lay claim

Ain't no cause for bloodthirsting

In a little town so dry

Where the angels dance on a pinhead

Just to make room for you and I

Well, how could you do it?

Well, how could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up in the sky?

Thoroughbred with their great big heads

Think a mile might be too far

Highway horses laugh but of course

When they don't know where the hell they are

Well, smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie

Victorious mother tongue

Passing laws just because

And singing songs of the English unsung

Well, how could you do it?

Well, how could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up

How could you do it?

Well, how could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up in the sky?
