lyrics

Cry baby cry, why don't you?
Eyes open wide, why won't you?
Why won't you?
Before you park it on the carpet...

Dry dry skeleton
Drive by on Chicago Avenue
Wake wake from a salt flat sleep
Take a break from a sun-dried dream
Shiver shutter sputter straight to the marrow
Tightened talons to the lungs of a sparrow
You can't hold the water
You can't hold the water

Cry baby cry, why don't you?
Tides on the rise, why won't you?
You can't hold the water
You can't hold the water
Skin and bones won't hold the water
You can't hold the water

When you're flying, what use is the ground?
When you're up, what use is the down?
Maybe baby if you squeeze a little harder
Your pretty palms could hold a bit of water.
Squeeze a little harder...
