Born In The Water Lyrics - Tragically Hip

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? 

Photos 

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 tounge 

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 

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?
