The way she sleeps her mouth's a wide open basin
I pulled her woman teeth out
She fights me like a woman does
Water eyes and gum sucking pouts
I use her teeth to guide me
More use that some divining rod
Her teeth was worn to nubbins
In my mouth her teeth gone soft
I showed her teeth to the people
As I spat them cross the floor where they froze
I picked up the crumbling molars
That now leave more than me alone
And now we ought to rise up
And now we ought to rise up
And with this group of people
Each with a molar in hand
A new form of divining until we do find the land
Her teeth guide us cross the country
That's when we see it's all worn out dirt
I imbibe myself back in line that's when I realize
All our mouths hurt
Her teeth should lead us to water
32 mouths gone dry
We should return to that wide open basin
Before we crumble break and dry
And now we ought to rise up
And now we ought to rise up
Ashes to ashes and dust
If he won't have us then the other must
Ashes to ashes and dust
If he won't have us then the other
Her teeth have led us back to the basin
Her gummy maw heaves a wheeze
Her mouth is filled with water we dive in
Divining what we need
Her teeth drag us down in the water
32 mill stones we drop
64 feet slip on her gum backs
And I divine she won't let us rise up
And now we ought to rise up
And now we ought to rise up
Me and the people by the water
Me and the people passed on by
Me and the people by the water
Me and the people passed on by
Me and the people by the water
Me and the people passed on by
Me and the people by the water
Me and the people we done passed on by
