Cool Water

Cool Water - Talking Heads (傳聲頭樂隊)

Written by：Chris Frantz/David Byrne/Jerry Harrison/Tina Weymouth

Day by day

Whistle while you work

Our backs are breaking

Up from hollow earth

From end to end

The noise begins

In the human battle stations

And the big ones

Coming in

Work work work work

Work till holes are filled

Work work work work

Bags of bone and skin

Lovers hold hands

Tossing their heads

Tangled in hair

Tied to earth

With skin and glue

But their skin is the same as yours

Coming in for the world to see

They can sit at the table too

The same blood as you and me

Speak very softly

Hold my hand

Someone is sleeping

In my bed

Priests pass by

Worms crawl in

One dreams to be

One dream

For all

His skin is the same as yours

Is he not made the same as you

And some have fallen down

Blood spilled on the ground

Work work work

Till his life is done

The old man

Is at our door

And he's knocking

Knocking

As his neighbors weep

Each day repeats

Are we nothing in your

Eyes someone answer

Someone answer this

Rusted garden gate

Can barely even stand

Their work is over now

And rest will be at hand

Is their skin not the same as yours

Can they sit at the table to drink

Cool water

Cool water

And his lungs are filled with rain

And the waters rushing in
