lyrics

I'm in your inner ear boy
I'm in your inner ear
I'm in your inner ear boy
I'm in your inner ear
I'm in your inner ear boy
I'm in your inner ear

Now can you hear me
Now you can't balance without me feeling generous now

--

I thought I'd shaken you

--

It's in the water
It's in the water
It's in the water and you gotta drink

It's in the water
It's in the water
This shit's a craft there's nothing solid beneath

--

Now can you hear me
Can you see me now
I'm patient shall I spell it out

--

Now in Florida
Hurricanes don't dissuade
They root on they root on they root on
For daddy's team in salvaged beach chairs laid out in the shade
Of rubble piles and exposed beams

While up in Maine
Commuter nets expand
A cell phone in the hand
They're overfishing the land

And in La Jolla where the coyotes roam
In sun-dried Toyotas leading new charges new home
It's shoot to kill
It's fire at will
Go it alone
Just don't let's tell Jonas he doesn't need to know

And in Bellingham
Concerned citizens
Are doing it for the kids

While down the mighty M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
As injun rouletting bleeds the countryside dry
You can find Huck drunk off bubbly under a darkening sky
Fumbling
Tommy
Tell me
I mean
I don't miss the slumming
But tell me true
What do you think
Old friend
Of what I'm becoming

On down to Santa Maria
The pilgrims flood
Their prince on display
Nails in the wood
To see as he rose from the grave
Mark of the beast only mud
Well I wanted blood

I wanted blood
I wanted blood
I wanted blood

--

Now can you hear me
Can you see me
Can you feel me
Are we dizzy now
