Barenaked Ladies - Man Made Lake lyrics

[Verse 1] I can open up this engine in any direction I can never get away from shore You can never lose sight of me even if I might be Takin' on water on a man made lake [Verse 2] I used to lie in bed and still feel the motion Only a stone's throw away When I was a kid, I I thought it was the ocean Now I'm, I'm takin' on water on a man made lake [Chorus] All of the trees beside it Every rock inside it Somebody's dad decided Where it all should go When I was a kid, I I thought it was the ocean Now I'm, I'm takin' on water on a man made lake [Verse 3] I am just a boy I know, frozen in a picture What was that smile I made? I was on a need-to-know basis And I didn't need to know that I didn't even know it was a man made lake I remember you so clearly Drivin' home from a party People never said sh*t those days I'm laying in the backseat starin' At the headlights glarin' Movin' the opposite way And I feel completely safe [Chorus] All of the trees beside it Every rock inside it Somebody's dad decided Where it all should go When I was a kid, I I thought it was the ocean Now I'm, I'm takin' on water on a man made lake I'm takin' on water on a man made lake I'm takin' on water (I'm takin' on water) I'm takin' on water (I'm takin' on water) (I'm takin' on water) When I was a kid, I I thought it was the ocean Now I'm, I'm takin' on water on a man made lake
