Test the water baby
Might not be as clear as it looks
Might be filled with old fish hooks
And lamprey eels
And old one eyed pirate ghosts
Wanting to cop feels
Test the water baby
Dip your elbow, dip your chin
Dip all the parts you use to sin
Take a squat
Whatever you got
And pray for the rain
You know, you know, won’t come
Test the acid water baby
Fom the carbon sky
Don’t let it get in your baby’s
eye
Or find another
Not so blind, not so dumb
Find another who will let you be numb
Take your Daisy rifle
Shoot the hurricane
Take your last child
In your whithered arms
Take it out into the frozen rain
Feel the hail bite into the skin
Don’t cry baby
Shelter it
Don’t cry baby
Shelter it
Don’t cry baby
Daddy’s got you.
Shelter it
Test the water while it’s still there
Dip your fingers
Dip your chin
Strange positions us two do find
Take the best of and toss it in
And I’ll try to save it while you try to drown it
And you try to save it while I try to down it
Then we can switch
Toss the water baby
And with it
Toss me, toss you

Thank you.
In parts you have a wonderful singing meter happening but then it goes.
