LYRICS
------------------
Rolling hill all covered in suede
I'm heat-nervous and out of road
Downtown there's a parade
But I don't think I wanna go
Smart as trees an Sault Ste Marie
I can speak my mother tongue
Passing laws just because
And singing songs of the English unsung

How could you do it?
How could you even try?
When you were born in the water
And you were raised up in the sky?

Front seats stamped by the window
No erasees in this game
Arbitrary as the wind blows
It's another way to lay claim
Ain't no cause for bloodthirsty
In a little town so dry
Where the angels dance on a pinhead
Just to make room for you and I
How could you do it?
How could you even try?
When you were born in the water
And you were raised up in the sky

Thoroughbreds with their great big heads
Think a mile might be too far
Highway horses laugh, but of course
When they don't know where the hell they are
Smart as trees an Sault Ste Marie
Victorious mother tongue
Passing laws just because
Singing songs of the English unsung

Well how could you do it?
How could you even try?
When you were born in the water
And you were raised up in the sky?

Very satanic maybe....angles daning on a pin head,just to make room for you and I.Born in the water raised in the sky....come on people.Jesus and john the Baptist.

And before you say there is no God.Ask yourself this...why do they spend so much time convincing you there is no God.Yet they bash God continuously...hmm.

Hope you get it.

@moveEcritik I am an agnostic.........and I find Atheists to be just as preachy as religious folks.

[Graculus01]

@Mr7777Slim It's about the town council of Sault Ste Marie. I'm sure a few residents of Sault Ste Marie may feel that their town council is Satanic, but you have a pretty severe cranio-rectal inversion to read this as anything to do with your particular imaginary friend.

@moveEcritik Athiests are lost causes, until they are found.

@Mr7777Slim religion is all interpretation and so are songs. you obviously didnt get what they were talking about in this song and i bet its the same for religion. i bet you believe anything people tell you. you need to lay off that religion shit and step into reality, kid

As a christian and musician i would like to say you have no idea what this song is about. so dont put words in their mouth when you dont really know unless you wrote the song.

[sonjahwkns]

are you really athiest??? Swear to God? Preach on....

[KevMait76]

@Lipschitz666 One word ! RUSH !! now thats Canada.

[KevMait76]

@Mr7777Slim Hope you get it !

[KevMait76]

@Mr7777Slim You have no clue what this song is about !! It's Metaphoric when he sings " Angel's dance on a pin head just to make room for you and I " I'm from The Soo, I understand the lyrics and he is just saying " Sault Ste Marie is in the middle of butt fuck nowhere, and who give's a shit about it " The city passed a law back in the mid 90's that changed all the Bilingualism to English instead of both English and French as it once was for years. Absolutely nothing to do with religion.
