The Waves - Lyrics - Villagers

There are waves Up in the diamond sky Stronger than you and I Am a wave I break through the barrier reef Cut through the carbon sea Approaching the shore Look at the sky, look at the trees Man, it's all the same to me Look at the cars, look at the birds And all of these invented words One body's dying breath is another's birth What are you running from? What are you running from? Sister jewellery, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence What are you gonna do? What are you gonna... When the waves Cover the coastal plains The tents and the cars and the trains And the trace of honey bees sanitaries Of well insulated dignitaries All screaming of the memory of the human love For anything, or anyone Look at the birds, look at the bees Madam, it's all the same to me Look at the girls, look at the gold Gathered, beat and bought and sold One man's innocence is another's chance What were you thinking of? What were you thinking of? Now please let me boil it down to this, my son This party's getting wet, but it ain't over yet So what is it gonna be? What is it gonna be? What is it gonna be? Just let the waves Cover the coastal plains The fear and guilt and the pain And the trace of honey bee jealousy Of well insulated bigotry And if you don't agree You better get back inside your cave 'cause we're all dancing with the waves Up in the diamond sky Stronger than you and I Am a wave I break through the barrier reef Cut through the carbon sea Approaching the shore [18x]
