The Water Lyrics - Singles - Spocks Beard

I: introduction/the water 

i am the water 

i am the ocean king 

i own the red sky 

i am the one who makes... 

dreams... 

real 

Ii: when it all goes to hell 

There you are 

it's soft and it's red 

floating free 

in your own private bed 

then one day 

you're pushed down a well 

and you feel your funny bone crack 

when it all goes to hell 

You come into 

a world cold and bright 

and after a while 

it all seems alright 

you dance and play 

but it's too soon to tell 

that you'll find yourself scathed and attacked 

when it all goes to hell 

When it all goes to hell 

And you don't even try to get up 

when it all goes to hell 

Iii: a thief in the night 

i was a general 

of darkness and light 

i was to be the major man 

it was some kind of sight 

I was going to stand alone 

and do what was right 

now i'm just another stepping stone 

a thief in the night 

So where were all of those 

angels and priests 

who said they'd carry me 

beyond my beliefs 

Where are all of them now 

they're gone from my sight 

my mother and father deserted me 

like thieves in the night 

Yes, where are all of them now 

they're gone from my side 

my mother and father deserted me 

like thieves in the night 

I was the water 

i was the ocean king 

i ruled the red sky 

i could do anything 

'til you, you 

you messed me up 

you, you 

you all messed me up 

Iv: fu/i'm sorry 

you gave me this home and then you left me alone 

fuck you 

you act real nice while you're exacting your price 

fuck you 

Everyone's got their opinions 

they'll tell ya 'bout 'em all the time 

what makes 'em think i wanna hear them 

i wish that you'd all fucking die, die, die! 

You don't give a shit about anything 

fuck you 

i don't know why you even bother to live 

fuck you 

Everyone's so pathetic 

always talking all the time 

what makes them think that 

i give half a shit what's on their minds, minds, minds! 

Fuck you 

[if the truth were told i really hate myself] 

fuck you 

fuck you 

fuck you 

fuck you! 

I'm so sorry 

i really am so, so sorry 

if i ever hurt you or caused you pain 

i can't help it 

i really, really just can't help it 

when the madman's on the rise again 

Can you understand what it's like? 

you all must understand what it's like 

i can't help what happened to me 

sometimes it just comes out now can't you see 

please understand and don't 

don't hate me 

I'm so sorry 

i really am so, so sorry 

if i ever hurt you or caused you pain 

if you don't understand it's all the same 

i guess i'll just be left alone again... 

V: the water (revisited) 

i am the water 

i am the ocean king 

i own the red sky 

i am the one who makes... 

you... 

feel 

Vi: runnin' the race 

mocks and spots 

rip up your face 

but all that counts 

is that you get to first base 

tension mouths 

then it's put in its place 

and you're finally having some fun 

when you're runnin' the race 

Chinatown 

is off to your left 

the motor pool 

is there on the right 

tension in dot matrix 

right in your face 

and you're finally having some fun 

while you're runnin' the race 

And you're finally having some fun 

while you're runnin' the race 

runnin' the race 

runnin' the race

vii: reach for the sky 

after we've gone 

after the moon rises 

and the red flags fly 

Gonna reach for the sky 

gonna hold my head up high 

gonna reach for the sky 

Storm ragin' 

that'll be alright 

if we reach for the sky 

yeah we reach for the sky 

Guess there never was... 

a winner 

just a race against time 

i was mean - i was kind 

eventhough i was blind 

i still reach for the sky 

Storm ragin' 

that'll be alright 

if we reach for the sky 

yeah we reach for the sky 

Come on people 

reach for the sky...
