The Water Is Over My Head
Well, I walked to the river
Just to ease my troublin' mind
And I thought about leavin'
This cardboard world behind
My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door
Leavin' nothing more than me
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't
No turnin' back
No, no, no, turnin' back
No, no, no
Ah, the breeze in the trees just
Whisperin' Louise today
And you can take back your rib
'cause I'm really not made of clay
My ice cream dreams have just melted in the night
I'm not standing here to fight the tide
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't
No turnin' back
No, no, no, turnin' back
No, no, no
Well, everybody's tellin' me that
This is wrong and that ain't right
But that can't be
Because I saw the sunshine last night
My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see
Oh, there's nothing left of me to see
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't
No turnin' back
No, no, no, turnin' back
No, no, no
Just to ease my troublin' mind
And I thought about leavin'
This cardboard world behind
My paperdoll princess has just blown out on the door
Leavin' nothing more than me
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't
No turnin' back
No, no, no, turnin' back
No, no, no
Ah, the breeze in the trees just
Whisperin' Louise today
And you can take back your rib
'cause I'm really not made of clay
My ice cream dreams have just melted in the night
I'm not standing here to fight the tide
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't
No turnin' back
No, no, no, turnin' back
No, no, no
Well, everybody's tellin' me that
This is wrong and that ain't right
But that can't be
Because I saw the sunshine last night
My crystal ball is blazin' but there's nothing there to see
Oh, there's nothing left of me to see
And now the water is over my head
And I keep on sinkin' like my soul was lead
And the world on my shoulders gettin' ready to crack
But I'm in too deep and there ain't
No turnin' back
No, no, no, turnin' back
No, no, no
