HUNGRY FOR THAT WATER

people keep searching till their feet get sore
do they know what they’re looking for?
  they’re hungry for that water
they see that water every day
it shines and then it flows away
how’re they going to make it stay?
  it leaves them high and dry

work up the ladder, work till you bleed
get what you want but it’s not what you need
  still hungry for that water
and though they’ll jump to your command
your power’s just a field of sand
you can’t hold water in your hand
  it leaves you high and dry
  it leaves you high and dry

lying and sighing and trying to sleep
I thought I heard the rain fall all night long
maybe I’m dreaming too deep
when I wake up, when I wake up it’s gone

waiting for a saviour, waiting for the man
do you what you should, do what you can
  still hungry for that water
break the bounds, toe the line
play the game or just resign
and settle fo a bottle of wine
  it leaves you high and dry
  it leaves you high and dry
