Lyrics
Steering in shallow waters
I predict a way we would turn
And scrape up all that clings
To your poor underneath
Peering through forbidden quarters
Do I detect a way you would burn
So you messed around with flames
Hurt, have you been hurt
Well I?m setting up a responsible course
Through all of your pitiful mishaps
Through all ?your slips and slaps
Weaving a life too tame
You?re pushing a dame to pain
Sticking in pins for fame
Flapping through wind and rain
Looking at truth through a windowpane
Now here?s a funny thing about truth
For that which is true can only be so
If there is no truth
If there is no truth
There is nothing at all
And nothing is all
So, what is up with you
Steering through shallow waters
I will behave as a rudder do
Pulling for in and out
Casting off, hear me shout
Steering in shallow waters
I will behave as a rudder do
So you can move around with ease
Sight, you do have sight
Well then there is insight
And out right
And plenty of assistance if you
Breathe right
This is not some kind of obstacle course
This is Just
Uncharted waters
