Spock's Beard

Spock's Beard - The Water lyrics

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 the well

and you can 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 priest

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 sight

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

'till 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 so)

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 mounts

then it's put in it's 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

even though i was blind

i still reached for the sky

storm ragin'

that'll be alright

if we reach for the sky

yeah we reach for the sky

come people

reach for the sky..
