Aesop Rock - WATER lyrics

The water ain't safe, the land's made of water

I hug a half empty glass my dignity's trying to corner

I'm trying to see the future in a tea cup and a saucer

But I rather be drinking coffee with my cigarette foster

And a run away buckle the cloud-nine fantasy filter to force the

brutal truth

Of daily market place wars through the roof

I mean I stood beneath the icicles that bleed under the yawning

And magically mastered the great absorbing of spirit falling

But I'm sick, I've plowed these fields a thousand times over

Sold botanicle research studies to farmers with whole quarters

And when science proposes to art besides that peace-full sea

I'll be that cat with a ring on a pillow shouting finally

Take a number, the apple seeds rained upon each slumber

A hundred thousand freaks on parade for the village hunter

My every when acted upon has gone loopy

But I play a game called lets prepare barnacle city for the end

or new sink

I split the radius at go getter bellies, reconnaissance

Seeping fossil genie bottle optimist freeze

Run from the fountain but the fountain is a desert optical

tease

Tummy full of sand running man impossible stop

There's a wing in my gut and i'm all dust

Surfing the earth and I dine-rise certainly flushed

Now one in the hands work to and top the toilet seater

But what lies inside my heart is off the mother f**king meter

[Chorus]

See the Water ain't safe no more

'I'm just trying to build my self to act as a truley better man

damn'

See the water ain't safe no more

'Nah nah the water ain't safe no more'

I'm just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve

its name across

'The water ain't safe no more'

I'm just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane

can offer

'I'm just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morining

with a smile'

The Water ain't safe no more..

[Verse Two]

And i've always been a 40 night chronologic hostage

Rusted hook in the lip of the monarch

Wingless Anime

I don't play in the man race cycle

Hope floater

Gloating inside carnal indifference till doom cops are slight

and

potent quotas

I'm 20 something pumping acrylic tomorrow side ways

Blazing passage with a map tattooed on the back of the classless

Now tip toe across a lost cause

Because a lost cause found

Don't mean you found a cause

That means you found a lost cause

Ok now ive been here for role playing

Slaying my here and now

To benefit consumption for my peers stiring the plow

And its incredible

Handy jackets turn numerals to sentinels

But bad apples ain't sweet and cretins ain't that memorable

I'm Mozart with a focus on the tide

Hiding the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine

I wear a tiger stripped ego and bilbo act my progression

With a kingliness formulated through the flesh of the oppressors

God had a flask I can prove it

You really think the 13 loops that loose daughter

spawned me a sober unit, check potion

Addressed the ghost inside my TV with a ruler

At hear to the back bone stone pusher

Here ten thousand hackers deep in a movment

Thats 20,000 crucial ruby heels clicking in unisan

It's beautiful, truly beautiful

I keep a stick inside my hand

and carve my name inside every wall of the falling hologram

[Chorus]

See the Water ain't safe no more

'I'm just trying to build my self to act as a truley better man

damn'

See the water ain't safe no more

'Nah nah the water ain't safe no more'

I'm just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve

its name across

'The water ain't safe no more'

I'm just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane

can offer

'I'm just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morining

with a smile'

The Water ain't safe no more...
