Now everybody tells me you're the dog's best friend
|
I'm the cat's meow since I don't know when
|
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
|
So when did the whole world turn upside down
|
When did you change your mind, when did you lose the juice
|
Now where did you get your attitude
|
When did you give it away, what did the old man say
|
And how many babies did you kick today
|
Now how many nights can the full moon shine
|
How many bottles of water can you turn to wine
|
When the blood has flowed against the tides of time
|
And the water flows forever
|
Hey hey hey!
|
Now I'm gonna build a boat, I'm gonna make it float
|
'Cause I'm getting the chase for a faraway place
|
Gonna set the sail, gonna catch some wind
|
And the big red sky's gonna be my only friend
|
With a boat for two, just me and you
|
You can be my teacher, I can teach you too
|
Gonna try a few things that I've never done
|
Maybe talk to the fishies, maybe have some fun
|
Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars
|
While I dance a jig under the eyes of Mars
|
When we get to an island where no one's ever been
|
We can get down and dirty in our animal skins
|
And I stand with my thing hanging out in the wind
|
Where the water's sweet like honey
|
Hey hey yeah hey hey yeah!
|
I've been feeling a chill, from the east wind blue
|
It's been creeping up slow, have you felt it too?
|
Have you noticed the look? Have you felt the feel?
|
Did it make you blush when the piggy squealed
|
Have you heard what they say, did you read the news
|
Said the old man's coming home a-singing the blues
|
Gonna whack your fanny, gonna tan your hide
|
Make your ears turn red, make you gonna cry
|
Now how many children gonna lose their minds
|
How many crying girls will be left behind
|
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
|
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
|
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
|
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
|
When the dead start walking... yeah
|
Now everybody sing to the heavens above
|
And everybody dance to the sounds of love
|
Won't you clack your teeth, won't you smack your hands
|
Won't you dig your little heads right out of the sand
|
Won't you jiggle your butt, won't you wave your arms
|
Won't you look like you just came off of the farm
|
Won't you stop your fighting for a second or two
|
Won't you help your neighbors, won't you do the do
|
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you eat the cake
|
Won't you get your ugly mug right out of my face
|
Won't you tell your brothers and your sisters tonight,
|
That you tasted the water and the water was right
|
Won't you taste the sugar, won't you dance the dance
|
Won't you wake up please, come on out of your trance
|
Everybody make believe that you disappear
|
For a second or two, gonna feel so queer
|
And you left behind all your rage and fear
|
And it made you feel like water
|
