Lyrics for Song: Deep Water
Lyrics for Album: Spirit [1998]
you find yourself falling down
your hopes in the sky but your heart like grape gum on the ground
and you try to find yourself
in the abstractions of religion & the cruelty of everyone else
and you wake up to realize
your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well, it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love
you realize your only friend
has never been yourself, or anyone who cared in the end
that's when everything fades or falls away
'cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've made
and when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well, it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love
we've compromised our pride & sacrificed our health
we must demand more not from each other, but more from ourselves
and when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well, it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love, love, love
it's nothing without love, ooh, ooh, oh
it's nothing without love, oh, oh
(nothing without love, without love)
oh, without love, without love (nothing without love, without love)
oh, without love, without love (nothing without love, without love)
oh, without love, without love (nothing without love, without love)
oh, without love, without love (nothing without love, without love)
[repeat until fade]
