Built to Spill - Water Sleepers lyrics

You tell them you don't know how to live Caught in the act of making up your d**hbed 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
