90-mile Water Wall lyrics

Well I know that you know

that you've become the target of this hand

with never even asking

Well I know that you know

that you're the only thing that I can stand

so how could your hair

have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing?

and how could the air

have the nerve to blow your hair around like that?

I'm waiting for a 90-mile water wall

to take me out of your view

I'm looking for a trap door trigger

to drop me out of your view

Yes I'm listening I'm listening

I can tell that you are serious

Your looking for that hurt look around my mouth

the look of a steep fall

yeah that's how Hersey put it

so you can make another claim

well go ahead and make it

so you can make another claim

well go ahead and make it

I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall

to take me out of your view

I'm praying for a trap door trigger

I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall

to take me out of your view

I'm praying for a trap door trigger

Yes I'm listening

I can tell you're serious
