Chorus:

All the things I relate to well, like authors and painters

           -|-3—-              ------|
Then play the verse again.

"The color after sunset, you'll do anything to jinx it. It'll crush your sculpture like
willow. He doesn't need a house, his shoes will walk for milles. There's a gypsies face
on my pill. I want to be like water and slip into your throat and make you feel alive 
good. I want to be like water and never have a doubt and reflect what is around my pool."

Then play the chorus again.

"All the things I relate to like authors and painters. Transparent paper wings that
above me whille I sleep. To make the room more natural, so we could die in it, die in 
die."

you listen closely, you'll get the feeling for it.
"I don't think you know just what you're doing. You pretend to know exactly all the
you keep on moving. And I don't think I know exactly what I'm doing. But I tend to know all
things you keep on moving."
