Devil in the Water Lyrics

Title: 'Devil in the Water'
( Special Thanks to Bruce Dalrymple )
Intro: ( Dmaj D ) (x2)
Verse 1: (0:29)
tonight the sounds are from the ceiling
they turned up to be a floor
strained on muffled conversations
the eyes hesitate for more
Verse 2: (0:44)
laying low but not escaping
find by contrast what is free
hear reminders in the spacing
the time when it is hard to breathe
(0:58)

D ---9h11-12---------------12----------------12----------------12--------|
Chorus: (1:14)
the sun on the street - looks good to me
burning and gold for a while, it's hard to see where we come from
let's go to the sea - take memory
buried in sand 'til the tide comes in and drowns it
(1:43)

Verse 3: (2:28)
no one's pulling up the floorboards
to find out how we can stand
stop throwing salt outside the windows
looking hard to see it land
Chorus: (2:43)
the sun on the street - looks good to me
burning and yellow for a while, it's hard to see where we come from
let's go to the sea - take memory
buried in sand 'til the tide comes in and drowns it
(3:13)

Outro: (4:13)
no one knows what anybody knows
no one knows what they're thinking about
spend our time guessing, spend it all
spend our time guessing, spend it all
no one knows what anybody knows (when it's over)
no one knows what they're thinking about
spend our time guessing, spend it all (why can't it be gone)
spend our time guessing, spend it all
the sun on the street looks good to me (when it's over)
burning and yellow for a while it's hard to see where we...
let's go to the sea take memory (why can't it be gone)
buried in sand 'til the tide comes in and drowns it
when it's over why can't it be gone.
