lyrics

Are You Withered or Not?

There’s no water – at least we won’t drown
Or go sailing – if we don’t want to
Or get sea-sick – I’ll be back in a minute
There’s no water - we won’t get flooded

There’s no light- we won’t get complacent
Or get blinded – we’re sitting right in it
Or have to look at – untidy faces
There’s no light - it’s a laugh a minute

Another lip-stained face with the clothes and body under it

There’s no air – we won’t talk too much
Or have to choke – when someone opens their lunch
Or go breathing – if we don’t need to
There’s no air – it’s a laugh a minute

Are you withered or not? Are you withered or not?
Are you withered or not? Are you withered or not?

There’s no earth – we won’t sit around
Or go digging - if we don’t want to
Or get dirty – our face and our hands
There’s no earth – I don’t know where I stand

Another lip-stained face with the clothes and body under it
Another lip-stained face with the clothes and body under it

Are you withered or not? Are you withered or not?
Are you withered or not? Are you withered or not?
