Written in Water
Like a troupe of clownsPeekin' out of a show man’s car
Through cabbage town…
You feel a cold wind blow
Through your open mind
The end is about to start
So you shut it hard…
As the weather girl predicts:
Conducting the clouds with her stick
The day will be clear’n’funny
— Before it rains…
Written in water
Yeah, it’s bound to disappear
Written in water
Down the crater of your ear
As long as the flavor lasts
In c-h-e-w-i-n-g gum
As long as we float around
This golf ball sun…
The light to replace the day
Is ten shades of gray
A kiss removes the skin
Shows you where you’ve been
Under the ultra-violet ray
A rule every fool obeys
Hold up your name in fire
— Before it rains…
Written in water
Yeah, it’s bound to disappear
Written in water
Written on a wave of fear.
Written in water
Yeah, it’s bound to disappear
Down-the-velvet-crater-of-your-ee-aa-rrr
Yeah, written in water
It’s bound to disappear
Written in water
Written on a wave of fear
Written in water
It’s bound to disappear
Down the velvet crater of your ear
Iiiiiiiiiiiihhjairr… Written in water
