Baby in the water
Tell me how it feels
When you're about to slaughter a family of eels
Do you have the whole world in your hands
Do you have the whole world in your hands
Baby in the water
Don't you think you know
That you could have a daughter
Or turn the rain to snow
I don't think that you understand
I don't think that you understand
That you have the whole world in your hands
You're a rebel in the sea
'Til you wash up on the beach
Or you could stand there doodling on your legs
While we find a new way to be seen
Baby in the water
I'd like to make a trade
I'll let you into heaven
If you would let me wade
Let the water bring me to birth
Let the water bring me to birth
Baby in the water
It's squalor in the stew
And if I'm being honest
I wish that I was you
You can go wherever you like
You can go wherever you like
No one cares if nobody tries
