Rolling hill all covered in suede

I'm heat-nervous and out of road

Downtown there's a parade

But I don't think I wanna go

Smart as trees an Sault Ste Marie

I can speak my mother tongue

Passing laws just because

And singing songs of the English unsung



How could you do it?

How could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up in the sky?



Front seats stamped by the window

No erasees in this game

Arbitrary as the wind blows

It's another way to lay claim

Ain't no cause for bloodthirsty

In a little town so dry

Where the angels dance on a pinhead

Just to make room for you and I

How could you do it?

How could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up in the sky



Thoroughbreds with their great big heads

Think a mile might be too far

Highway horses laugh, but of course

When they don't know where the hell they are

Smart as trees an Sault Ste Marie

Victorious mother tongue

Passing laws just because

Singing songs of the English unsung



Well how could you do it?

How could you even try?

When you were born in the water

And you were raised up in the sky
