Born In The Water Lyrics by The Tragically Hip

Born In The Water Lyrics

    Rolling hill all covered in suede
    I'm heat-nervous and out of road
    Downtown there's a parade
    But I don't think I wanna go
    Smart as trees in Sault Ste Marie
    I can speak my mother tongue
    Passing laws just because
    And singing songs of the English unsung

    How could you do it?
    How could you even try?
    When you were born in the water
    And you were raised up in the sky?

    Front seats stamped by the window
    No erasees in this game
    Arbitrary as the wind blows
    It's another way to lay claim
    Ain't no cause for bloodthirst
    In a little town so dry
    Where the angels dance on a pinhead
    Just to make room for you and I
    How could you do it?
    How could you even try?
    When you were born in the water
    And you were raised up in the sky

    Thoroughbreds with their great big heads
    Think a mile might be too far
    Highway horses laugh, but of course
    When they don't know where the hell they are
    Smart as trees an Sault Ste Marie
    Victorious mother tongue
    Passing laws just because
    Singing songs of the English unsung

    Well how could you do it?
    How could you even try?
    When you were born in the water
    And you were raised up in the sky?
