The Water Song
Lyrics
Water came springing out the side of the wall
And I guess the same thing will happen to us all
I don't know how to explain what I mean
I mean to say it's kind of hard to explain now
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Water came down through the cracks in the ceiling
But this time the water had a different feeling
It's the sort of feeling that is hard to explain
So, let me put it to you in a different way now
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
You're the salesman. I'm the buyer
You're the tractor. I am the tire
I'm the glass. You're the water that fills me
I hear them coming now
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me now
Let them kill me. Yeah!
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me
Let them kill me

- I've said this before, but I don't plan the middle part of the set list. So that I can call every other band on the planet a poser. [cheering] The downside of this is that occasionally the middle part of the set really drags. He couldn't figure out what to play, people started yelling requests, he couldn't make out what they were saying, the one guy said - it sounded like a very slow sort of process. Iunno man. I feel like I should play like, really super old stuff. [extremely enthusiastic cheering] Stuff I woulda played at the Pitzer open mic night. [crowd yells request, JD picks out chords] Hold on, hold on, excuse me, I need quiet. [JD laughs] Man, that was 15 years after that. You gotta wait for No Children. [starts song, audience claps, JD stops playing] Matt Douglas hates that I ask people not to clap, but Matt's not here. [laughs] The reason I do it is that clapping for 3 minutes is kind of a big endeavor and the clap always dissipates. And it's very anorgasmic, y'know, ah, they're clapping, aw, the one guy got bored.
