Metal Water Wood by Tori Amos Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You found me, you found me
Burning, burning in despair
You said then, "I know dear
"It has been a brutal year"
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my shattered dreams
Wash them away out with the tide
Take these shattered dreams
These shattered dreams of mine
Wash them away with the tide
[Chorus]
Metal, water, wood
"Be like water"
You tell me, "Be like water"
Pull that horizon down
Pull that, pull that horizon down
Line that horizon up
Like the captain does with his instruments
You tell me, "Be like water"
Metal, water, wood
[Verse 2]
I feel like an imposter should
As you shape-shift through the Earth
You knew me as fire
You have always been
[Chorus]
Metal, water, wood
"Be like water"
You tell me, "Be like water"
Pull that horizon down
Pull that, pull that horizon down
Line that horizon up
Like the captain does with his instruments
You tell me, "Be like water"
Metal, water, wood
[Bridge]
Take my shattered dreams
Wash them away out with the tide
These unwanted pieces
Wash them away out with the tide
Take these shattered dreams
These shattered dreams of mine
Wash them away with the tide
[Outro]
Metal, water, wood
Metal, water, wood
How to be like water
Show me how to be like Water
Metal, water, wood
You found me, you found me
Burning, burning in despair
You said then, "I know dear
"It has been a brutal year"
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my shattered dreams
Wash them away out with the tide
Take these shattered dreams
These shattered dreams of mine
Wash them away with the tide
[Chorus]
Metal, water, wood
"Be like water"
You tell me, "Be like water"
Pull that horizon down
Pull that, pull that horizon down
Line that horizon up
Like the captain does with his instruments
You tell me, "Be like water"
Metal, water, wood
[Verse 2]
I feel like an imposter should
As you shape-shift through the Earth
You knew me as fire
You have always been
[Chorus]
Metal, water, wood
"Be like water"
You tell me, "Be like water"
Pull that horizon down
Pull that, pull that horizon down
Line that horizon up
Like the captain does with his instruments
You tell me, "Be like water"
Metal, water, wood
[Bridge]
Take my shattered dreams
Wash them away out with the tide
These unwanted pieces
Wash them away out with the tide
Take these shattered dreams
These shattered dreams of mine
Wash them away with the tide
[Outro]
Metal, water, wood
Metal, water, wood
How to be like water
Show me how to be like Water
Metal, water, wood
