lyrics

Mother mother who was I
To call myself a man
When the water broke the dam

I have teeth, my how they’ve grown
And fluoride in my bones
I’ve thought of coming home

Lilies floating on the pools
In craters on the moon
And growing through the ground

Up above the violet sky
Moonlight in my eyes
But darkness all around

Do I hear stones
At my window
Or is it hail
Or maybe rain

I can feel
Flood waters coming
To wash you away again

Levels lower now each day
Since you’ve gone away
Herons legs aground

Like yard sticks in the sand
Painted by the hands
Of people who were drowned

Do I hear stones
At my window
Or is it hail
Or maybe rain

I can feel
Flood waters coming
To wash you away again
