From the recording Land of Nod
Lyrics
Take me to the water for a drink
I lost sight of the river
Now I can't seem to recall anything
Can't stay awake. Won't sleep a wink
I'm like a ship in a bottle
Never to embark. Never to sink
Just a model to behold
Trying hard to break the bottle
Take me to the fire for the heat
I'm not trying to shiver
That's just my body's dying to release
All of this frozen energy
I'm like a mime in a novel
Never to be heard. Never to speak
It seems
I'm just a model to behold
Trying hard to change my world
But I was born inside a bottle
And now I live to be observed
Too tall to slip into the sea
Too many scriptures to believe
Too tall to even take a drink
Too many superstitions
Too many bottles left to break
To save
This old model to behold
Trying hard to change my world
But I was born inside a bottle
And now I live to be observed
