The waves

There are waves
Up in the diamond sky
Stronger than you and I
I'm 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 runnin' from? What are you runnin' from?
Sister jury, brother judge and you all recognize this grudge
Buried deep beneath the sands at these ridiculous demands
No time for innocence, or sittin' on the fence
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna

When the waves
Cover the coastal plane
The tents and the cars and the trains
And the trace of honeybees cemeteries
Of non-insulated dignitaries
All screaming off the memory of
The human life, for anything
Or anyone

Look at the birds, look at the bees, madame it's all the same to me
Look at the girls, look at the gold, gathered deep and bought and sold
One man's innocence is another's chance
What were you thinkin' of? What were you thinkin' of?
Now please let me boil it down to this, my son
This party's gettin' 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 plane
The fear and the guilt and the pain
And the trace of honeybees jealousy
Of non-insulated bigotry
And if you don't agree
You better get back inside your cave
Cause we're all dancin' with

The waves
Up in the diamond sky
Stronger than you and I
I'm a wave
I break through the barrier reef
Cut through the carbon sea
Approaching the shore
Approaching the shore
Approaching the shore
Approaching the shore
