[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
My mirror's laughing at me, says, "Boy, are you getting old
There's so much junk in your life, what you've got, you don't even know
Don't take a phone company to tell you life's pay-as-you-go"
I wonder how much of life is set up in utero
[Chorus]
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
[Verse 2]
Watching too much TV, I'm an actor in a puppet show
There's so much stuff in my life, no room for me to grow
One day I'm going to break from my life, due south down to Mexico
I'm gonna burn down my house, it's the only way to let it go
[Chorus]
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
[Verse 3]
Run your hands ‘cross the flanks of a horse
Feel the pulse of blood, the heat and the force
It's an antidote to a life spent on the beat
That's the beat of concrete, the beat of machines
Of mobile phones and plasma screens
How much junk in my life do I really need?
[Chorus]
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
[Bridge]
I'm so cynical, where I need to play
I'm so cynical, find another way
I'm so cynical, I can't change
One drop is lonely
Two drops, okay
Three drops can make a spray
Four drops get carried away
Diiiiiiiiiive
[Chorus]
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
