New Water

For the sea, I'd wager, for the sea

If there was a thing missed by me

It's the much-honored chance just to constantly dance

With the waves as they roil ceaselessly

It's the water

It's the water

That can wash your whole life away

For a swim, I'd barter, for a swim

I'd trade my own mother in

If you'd point me to a shore, boy, it would take nothing more

To get me frolicking and splashing within

It's the water

It's the water

I would swim so very far away

From wet we ooze, and back to wet we cruise

Our perfect home is the sea

If we're not wet, then we don't get to choose

So strip and skinny-dip with me

For a drink, please, someone, bring me a wee drink

Just one swallow before I sink

Into the cradling limbs of the demon that swims

'neath the oceanic tumble of think

It's the water

It's the water

We could drink our whole life away

It's the water

It's the water

Getting deeper every day

It's the water

It's the water

Let us wallow, baby, oh, let us play
