Standing on the Water

Why do we surround ourselves with houses and big cars?
And try to make out, we got it made!
When nothing really belongs to us, we're only passing through...
We're part of a mascaraed...

[Chorus]
When we're standing on the water talking to the wall...
Making so much matter up, there's no matter at all!
Got to get a hold of ourselves, so easy to fall!

Standing on the water talking to the wall
Yet we look around us we see trouble everywhere
Living off the air that we breathe
I know we like to hang out, in the country for a while
Theres something that you just can't believe

[Chorus]
When we're standing on the water talking to the wall, so many pictures looking at us through a smile...
Making us one thing we don't need...
So many people telling us just what to do, what we are, and what we should be...
When we're standing on the water talking to the wall
Talking to the wall, talking to the wall...
