Horseleg Swastikas - Silver Jews

I’m drunk on a couch in Nashville

In a duplex near the reservoir

And every single thought is like a punch in the face

I’m like a rabbit freezing on a star

On the wrong side of Sunday morning

Shattered in the terrible light

Working for a bankrupt circus

On the wrong side of Saturday night

And I wanna be like water if I can

'Cause water doesn’t give a damn

Water doesn’t give a damn

Chased by a floating hatchet

You can’t just shoot your way out and go

I could tell you things about this wallpaper

That you’d never ever want to know

But there’s an altar in the valley

For the things in themselves as they are

And the triumph of the obstacle

And horseleg swastikas

I wanna take a ride on the back of a sunbird

Up into the highest number

Up into the highest number

And I wanna be like water if I can

'Cause water doesn’t give a damn

Water doesn’t give a damn
