Backwater Lyrics By Meat Puppets

    and when i wake up in the morning
    to feel the daybreak on my face
    there’s a blood that’s flowin’ through the feeling
    with a knife to open up the sky’s veins

    some things will never change
    they stand there looking backwards
    half unconscious from the pain
    they may seem rearranged
    in the backwater swirling
    there is something that will never change

    and when i shoulda been gone a long time
    laughs and says i find ways
    just when we’re sheltered under paper
    the rockets come at us sideways

    some things will never change
    they stand there looking backwards
    half unconscious from the pain
    they may seem rearranged
    in the backwater swirling
    there is something that will never change

    hey i’m blind
    good fine
    roll the time
    on whose dime

    and when i wake up in the morning
    to feel the daybreak on my face
    there’s a blood that’s flowin’ through the ceiling
    with a knife to open up the sky’s veins

    some things will never change
    they stand there looking backwards
    half unconscious from the pain
    they may seem rearranged
    in the backwater swirling
    there is something that will never change
    some things will never change
    they stand there looking backwards
    half unconscious from the pain
    they may seem rearranged
    in the backwater swirling
    there is something that will never change
