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
