"The Waterboy" lyrics

"The Waterboy"

There's a Scottish man
Fronting an American band
Now he lives in Dublin tho'
And I'm in Rosedale lookin' for ghosts

Edinburgh Galway Nashville Ulladulla breakin' my heart
In four places

Singin' 'bout a Mississippi boy
Who once held the world like a toy
Now he's lookin' down from heaven
Smokin' reefers with myths 'n legends

Tupelo Vegas Mollymook Memphis breakin' my heart
In four places

And it may not be his greatest LP
As I'm windin' these streets tears on my knees
All the fishermen and women
In the bottleshops by seven, talkin' where they're bitin'
The best four places
The best four places

Go!

Car stereo
Pushin' me farther down the road
Got a Waterboy singin' for the King
And my eyes are glazin' over

Highway caravan bottleshop no plans lookin' for a start
In four places

His voice reminds me of what
I've left behind so I'm gonna go fishing
Try to imagine what to do next time

Ventricle Aorta muscle and blood building a heart
In four places

None outta ten star gazers would agree
This ain't the centre of the universe
Let alone me
But the tenth sees a face in every constellation
While I'm spinning my wheels
In four places
In four places

Go!

There's a Scottish man
Fronting an American band
Now he lives in Dublin tho'
And I'm in Rosedale lookin' for ghosts

Edinburgh Galway Nashville Ulladulla breakin' my heart
In four places
