Water In The Clouds

Can’t look back now, but you can’t look very far

Rain is falling with the the changing of the guards

This resentment, entertaining all your birds

Never whisper, always scream those frightening words

Can’t you see it’s getting late?

My head’s on fire and it’s all ending

Can’t you see you’re tempting fate?

A force of nature, patent pending

Always lying, taking all your friends for fools

You live in Cockaigne but your voice is out of tune

Evaporating and the music’s getting loud

Your head is empty but there’s water in the clouds

Can’t you see it’s getting late?

My head’s on fire and it’s all ending

Can’t you see you’re tempting fate?

A force of nature, patent pending

 

You’ll run blind in the summer

But you’ll see them in the fall

While you’re counting your numbers

From New York to Montreal

Can’t you see it’s getting late?

My head’s on fire and it’s all ending

Can’t you see you’re tempting fate?

A force of nature, patent pending
