Paroles: Tragically Hip. Born In The Water.

Rolling hills 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 Saint 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 in the sky?

Front seat stamped by the wind blows
No erases in this game
Arbitrary as the wind blows
It's another way to lay claim

Ain't no cause for bloodthirsting
In a little town so dry
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?

Thoroughbred with their great big heads
Think a mile might be too far
Highway horses laugh, but ofcourse
When they don't know where the hell they are

Smart as trees in Sault Saint Maire
Victorious mother tongue
Passing laws just because
And 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?

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?
