Backwater Lyrics - Singles - Meat Puppets

And when I wake up in the morning 

To feel the daybreak on my face 

There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling 

With a knife to open up the sky's vein 

Some things will never change 

They just stand there looking backwards 

Half unconscious from the pain 

It may seem rearranged 

In the backwater swirling there is 

Something that'll never change 

And when I shoulda' been gone a long time 

Laughs and says I find ways 

Just when we're sheltered under paper 

The rockets come at us sideways 

Some things will never change 

They just stand there looking backwards 

Half unconscious from the pain 

It may seem rearranged 

In the backwater swirling there is 

Something that'll never change 

Hey, I'm blind 

Good, fine 

Roll the time 

On whose dime? 

And when I wake up in the morning 

To feel the daybreak on my face 

There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling 

With a knife to open up the sky's vein 

Some things will never change 

They just stand there looking backwards 

Half unconscious from the pain 

It may seem rearranged 

In the backwater swirling there is 

Something that'll never change
