Lyrics

Bilingual
You tell them you don't know how to live
Caught in the act of making up your deathbed on the wake
ย
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
ย
Wake up, you're dancing, dancing lifeless legs
Their antennas are picking up the sounds that whales make
Whale song is love
ย
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
ย
Initiation catch you in the act
Of thinking you were doing something else
By going for a Sunday dive, head-first
ย
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
