Grandma, the water is rising My boundless hair has gotten green I'll be your swimming forest island Bid you walk safely, safely over me
Raised in the gutter, I ain't really had nothin' No silver spoon, I was raised a rusty shovel Granny used to tell me boy stay up outta trouble But the hunger in my tummy had me stayin' on my hustle
When I'm livin' in a bottle with my head all cloudy Stomach rumbling like a thunderstorm up in Maui Pray over me and I'm hoping that I make it Like a last dollar in a slot machine in Las Vegas
Need good luck, stay trusting my gut If they can't hold me down, then you hold me up Trapped in the lies then, nobody I could trust I'd give it all away before I give it all up
Now tell me have you ever ever ever in your life Hear something wrong and you know it wasn't right Now you're up late night thinking that night All along sorry, know it wasn't right
Same sense again, tell me would you think twice I did that yesterday, put it on my life Once a day passed, would a feelin' never last While I flick away my problems with the cigarette ash
Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak
Grandma, the water is rising My boundless hair has gotten green I'll be your swimming forest island Bid you walk safely, safely over me
Grandma my sleep is narrow Bid you bring me some strong drink Strain out the pulps and set them close outside For when my belly For when my little belly speaks
Grandma, there's air beneath my bed And it whispers And it whispers when I rest Bid hem the skirts in salt and vinegar, vinegar And hover closely Hover closely under head
Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak Stayin' up late, I could never ever sleep Feelin' all my hunger every time my belly speak
Grandma, I've been unruly In my dreams And with my speech Drill little holes into my eyelids That I might see you
Grandma, the water is rising My boundless hair has gotten green I'll be your swimming forest island Bid you walk safely, safely over meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
