Cathedrals Under The Sea
I see white horses charge in line
The earth repels them every time
And snow-white vultures circle wide
We quell our heads with sweet sedative wine
And when we runneth over it makes no difference why
So go one further step into the river
Feel your body roll
But if we both stay home and avoid all calls
Then it won't be long
'Til maybe neither of us will hurt anymore
I see cathedrals under the sea
The evening sky incarnadine
Your proverbs don't make sense to me
To you they all get so serpentine
And the garden of your soul's been vilified
So go one further step into the river
Feel your body roll
But if we both stay home and avoid all calls

Then it won't be long
'Til maybe neither of us will hurt anymore
Your memory misinterprets signs
Like happiness eats itself as soon as it gets in short supply
Oh these cold unfolding arms seem always otherwise employed
But don't think that I don't know
More and more I watch you lose control
The more I watch this river go
Discharge the world we've both outgrown
The tallest tales we've ever been told
Because the champagne air won't always overflow
So go one further step into the river
Feel your body roll
But if we both stay home and avoid all calls
Then it won't be long
Oh, 'til maybe neither of us will hurt anymore
