Water Sleepers

You tell them you
Don't know how to live
Caught in the act of making up
Your deathbed on the wake

Wake up you're dreaming
Your head's starving
You're digging up the plants
You love because you heard
The stars were root-bound
They're root-bound

Wake up your dancing
Dancing lifeless legs
They're antennas are picking up
The sounds that whales make
Whale song is love

Well they can't help it
Ah we can't help it
Following the signals
From the deep we pay off
The cross-road
Gods with our accidents

Initiation catch you in the act
Of thinking you were doing
Something else
By going for a sunday dive
Head-first

Suddenly it's dark
Out too dark to swim
Lord the water's got it in for us
And we're perpetually half-in
Caught in the act
