Paradise

Some say Paradise it ain't that far Across the midwest, through the great plains Second home or a broke down car Same stories, different faces But this money isn't all that it seems It will buy us nothing, but a big house Or a fence to lock away our dreams Here's to hoping, they were nothing They were nothing Through the valley there's a winding stream Little river, in the springtime But the grasses don't keep their green When the rains, not fallin' It's in the water, it's in the water It's in the water where the dirt breaks free and It's in the water, it's in the water Poison soil and a fruitless tree Wildfire and a law degree All the pictures that they paint for me Of the world and how it's supposed to be It's in the water, it's in the water It's in the water we can see these things and It's in the water, it's in the water Low lake, dry stream Arid land, built on dreams No place to hide All these lives, burnt like trees It's in the water, it's in the water It's in the water where the dirt breaks free and It's in the water, it's in the water It's in the water we can see these things and It's in the water, it's in the water It's in the water to reach the sea and It's in the water, it's in the water
