Too much muscle for the hustle
and all this bread for the common man
Been rolling tables all the way to naples
Got scars on my blood brother hand
There's two ropes running over the road
Gonna follow them down to the horse boat
Gonna find me a man with skin like salt
Gonna steal his yellow overcoat
I got three dimes twelve nickels
Stole a eagle feather for a red skin tickle
At the magic apple I tore my dress
and dove into the river with a big black net 
Singin'

It's cool water

They say it's the age of the insect
They climb a mountain for a taste of the temptress
so sad she can't sober up
long legs like that it's dangerous
now bearded boy play your guitar
and take me to the lake with the skeleton arm
we swore we wouldn't tell anyone about it
we swore we'd fall apart if we had to live without it 

It's cool water

Here come the bumble bees in their god shaped swarm
we keep them away with our magic wands 
and in our nakedness we hold each other
and fall down into the cool cool water

It's cool water
