Set out on a laughless day
like a troupe of clowns
peekin' out of a show man's car
through cabbage town...
you feel a cold wind blow
through your open mind
the end is about to start
so you shut it hard...
as the weather girl predicts:
conducting the clouds with her stick
the day will be clear'n'funny
- before it rains...
Written in water
yeah, it's bound to disappear
written in water
down the crater of your ear
As long as the flavor lasts
in c-h-e-w-i-n-g gum
as long as we float around
this golf ball sun...
the light to replace the day
is ten shades of gray
a kiss removes the skin
shows you where you've been
under the ultra-violet ray
a rule every fool obeys
hold up your name in fire
- before it rains...
Written in water
yeah, it's bound to disappear
written in water
written on a wave of fear..
written in water
yeah, it's bound to disappear
down-the-velvet-crater-of-your-ee-aa-rrr
Yeah, written in water
it's bound to disappear
written in water
written on a wave of fear
written in water
it's bound to disappear
down the velvet crater of your ear
iiiiiiiiiiiihhjairr!... written in water
