Scales fallen from my eyes I followed the bronco
Scales fell from my eyes, I followed the wild horse
If they ever ask you tell them that I've said no
If they ever ask you, tell them that I said no
From the Maserati
From the Maserati
I only kept the headlights
I only kept the headlights
From their promised land
From their promised land
I only figured the fights
I only understood the fights
From his declaration
From his declaration
I only tasted the tears
I only tasted the tears
From the congregation
From the congregation
Flames have been busting for years
Flames have been bursting for years
Ten, twenty years from now
Ten, twenty years from now
Nobody will know how
Nobody will know how
Is it precisely why
Is it precisely why
You let the mire flow by?
You let the mire flow by?
Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger
Behind the barrels?
Behind the barrels?
Water
Water
For us animals!
For us animals!
Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger
Behind the barrels?
Behind the barrels?
Water
Water
For us animals!
For us animals!
It took hours to loosen their solid embrace
It took hours to loosen their solid embrace
Force fields are flowing strongly with every displace
Force fields are flowing strongly with every displace
(Water)

From the Maserati
From the Maserati
I only kept the headlights
I only kept the headlights
From their promised land
From their promised land
I only figured the fights
I only understood the fights
From his declaration
From his declaration
I only tasted the tears
I only tasted the tears
From the congregation
From the congregation
Flames have been busting for years
Flames have been raging for years
Ten, twenty years from now
Ten, twenty years from now
Nobody will know how
Nobody will know how
Is it precisely why
Is it exactly why
You let the mire flow by?
You let the mire slip by?
Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger
Behind the barrels?
Behind the barrels?
Water
Water
For us animals!
For us animals!
Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger
Behind the barrels?
Behind the barrels?
Water

For us animals!
For us animals!
Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger
Behind the barrels?

For us animals!
For us animals!
Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger
Behind the barrels?
Behind the barrels?
Water
Water
For us animals!
For us animals!
