"Water Curses" lyrics

"Water Curses"

To be the motion actor
Two broken strings attract her
A groom, a face, a light-filled room
Hesitate to throw a coin in
A wish could be a bad thing
My mouth is just a mesh of drool
I'm standing on the bridge
I won't get hit from up high
A talking fish comes as she moves
I want to be like water
And never need a doctor
And carve the earth without my tools

All the things that I relate to well like goggles and paint tubes
Transparent paper wings that float above me while I sleep
To make the room more natural
To think I'm dying, and I'm dying, I'm dying

The color after sunset
You'd do anything to jinx it
It'll crush your skull just like a willow
He doesn't need a house
His shoes can walk for miles
There's the drips, the black spots on my pillow
I want to be like water
And slip into your throat
And make you feel alive and good
I want to be like water and
Never have a doubt
And crack the hoods around my pool

All the things that I relate to well like goggles and paint tubes
Transparent paper wings that float above me while I sleep
To make the room more natural
To think I'm dying, and I'm dying, I'm dying
And all the dreams that I awake to read like postulatings
And all the things I hate I wish I didn't have to hate
To find a room that's natural
To live on by in 'em, and by in 'em, by

I don't think you know just what you're doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
Said, I don't think I know exactly what I'm doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving

When you wake up from your snoozing
Gonna tell you how to do it my way
When I'll tell you what I'm doing
Lazy night I play my drum
Everybody in town was bopping
And I got no way to stop it
It's a song about the days you spend
Without me at our home

If I don't think you know just what you're doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
Said I don't think I know exactly what I'm doing
But I tend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving

When you wake up from your snoozing
Gonna tell you how to do it my way
When I'll tell you what I'm doing
Lazy night I play my drum
Everybody in town was bopping
And I got no way to stop it
It's a song about the days you spend
Without me at our home

When you wake up from your snoozing
Gonna tell you how to do it my way
When I'll tell you what I'm doing
Lazy night I play my drum
Everybody in town was bopping
And I got no way to stop it
It's a song about the days you spend
Without me at our home

When you wake up from your snoozing
Gonna tell you how to do it my way
When I'll tell you what I'm doing
Lazy night I play my drum
Everybody in town was bopping
And I got no way to stop it
It's a song about the days you spend
Without me at our home
