Salt Water DNA (Ft. Suzanne Vega)

Salt water

Tide came in and
Then went out and
Left behind in
Hollow places
Cradled once and
Cooling twice, you
Feel the sting of

Salt water
Salt water
Salt water

Wave goes back and
Leaves the sand, it's
High and barren
Dry and wasting
Cradled once and
Cooling twice, you
Feel the sting of

Salt water
Salt water

Taste this
It's really raw
It comes with the skin and the sand still on it
And it comes with the shell and the flesh within it
You can tell that it came from a seedy and watery place
Taste this
It's really good
It will make your mouth feel like something's in it
And it's gotten and given from a cold black piece of the sea
From a piece of the sea
