Perfect Water - Live

Perfect water
The dark wind, brazen waves, the crazed birds raid the trees
Is this our destiny?
To join our hands at sea
And slowly sink, and slowly think
This is perfect water, passing over me

Do you know Jacques Cousteau?
Well, he said on the radio that you hear
Bells in random order
Deep beneath the perfect water
No, that is frightening
But still so inviting
To drown, drown inside a sound
To lay so far underground
And to think, and to think
This is perfect water, passing over me

To flow inside the spiral tide
To drop my eyes like a bride
And ride across the curve unmarked by borders
It waits for me like an orphaned daughter
A life, a life of perfect order
A strange, strange and perfect water
A life, a life of perfect order
A strange, strange and perfect water

Perfect water
A dreamless dream beneath a deep and a warm Gulf Stream
Where two blocks of ice
Melt into my hands like dice
And I roll (a seven) a seven on the Florida sea (a seven)
And I roll (a seven) a seven on the Florida sea (a seven)
And I feel the perfect water, passing over me

To flow inside the spiral tide
To drop my eyes like a bride
And ride across the curve unmarked by borders
It waits for me like an orphaned daughter
A life, a life of perfect order
A strange, strange and perfect water
A life, a life of perfect order
A strange, strange and perfect water
