When Water Comes to Life

And when the angels come They'll cut you down the middle To see if you're still there To see if you're still there And underneath your ribs They'll find a heart-shaped locket An old photograph Of you in daddy's arms And then they'll sew you closed And give you back to the water From where we're all born From where we're all born And you'll feed the ghosts And you'll feed the living You'll be a stranger, and you'll be a friend You'll be the leper, and you'll be the healer You'll be the hero, and the tragedy And when they sew you closed They'll give you back to the water From where we're all born And when they burn your body All that's left is sand crystals Two tiny handfuls All the rest is water, water, water, water All you need to know Is you were born of water You are made of water You are living water, water, water, water All you need to know Is you were born of water You are made of water You are living water, water, water, water.
