Amber cascades all over today Then we walk on a crooked catwalk Only to be delayed Bubbles of blue burst into two Eaten up by the incoming tide Of the new Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view Granite charades are played in the rain CLICK ABOVE TO VISIT OUR SPONSORS Till we fall through a sand castle window To avoid the pain Summer canoe paddles up to you 'cause it's time for another beer run Or something that's equally true Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view Then we call to the man who walks on the water We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view It's in view
