Water On the Rise
Saw that floating city again last night
We should trade with them if we can
We need batteries and flour and vitamins
We're still so far from land
Keep watching out for those pirates, son
I hear they play for keeps
Help your sister to re-rig the foresail
I gotta get a few hours sleep
Strange clouds, savage skies
The water is still on the rise
Keep your eyes peeled or we could capsize
The water is still on the rise
I remember the time when we had a house
Before it slipped into the sea
We were the last ones still clinging on
We even made it onto TV
The beds and wardrobes tumbling down
Clothes drifting on the waves
We had the boat all ready to set sail
There was nothing else to save
Strange clouds, savage skies
The water is still on the rise
Keep your eyes peeled or we could capsize
The water is still on the rise
Some say that the sea was always gonna win
I don't know what that really means
But I can't live on the kind of land that's left
People packed in like sardines
They rebuilt the hillsides and mountains
But built them in the same old way
People at the bottom still have it worst
Measuring the sea every day
Strange clouds, savage skies
The water is still on the rise
Keep your eyes peeled or we could capsize
The water is still on the rise
We should trade with them if we can
We need batteries and flour and vitamins
We're still so far from land
Keep watching out for those pirates, son
I hear they play for keeps
Help your sister to re-rig the foresail
I gotta get a few hours sleep
Strange clouds, savage skies
The water is still on the rise
Keep your eyes peeled or we could capsize
The water is still on the rise
I remember the time when we had a house
Before it slipped into the sea
We were the last ones still clinging on
We even made it onto TV
The beds and wardrobes tumbling down
Clothes drifting on the waves
We had the boat all ready to set sail
There was nothing else to save
Strange clouds, savage skies
The water is still on the rise
Keep your eyes peeled or we could capsize
The water is still on the rise
Some say that the sea was always gonna win
I don't know what that really means
But I can't live on the kind of land that's left
People packed in like sardines
They rebuilt the hillsides and mountains
But built them in the same old way
People at the bottom still have it worst
Measuring the sea every day
Strange clouds, savage skies
The water is still on the rise
Keep your eyes peeled or we could capsize
The water is still on the rise
