Everything That Rises

[wr: Shriekback]

Honour among thieves
My crackling clothes
They cover me like leaves
Roll up your sleeve and hold my hand
She's saying "Ai, ai no corrida
Kick up the soil, spoil a pattern in the sand"
He's saying "Me, I don't believe ya"
But then he can't tell the water from the land
And...

[CHORUS]
And it's blue, blue, blue, a colour and a surge
Everything that rises must converge
She says "One day soon, you and I will merge"
Everything that rises must converge

Nothing is for free, the story goes
You hear it and believe
Now don't you grieve or look behind
He's saying "Why, why do we do this?"
This is the very thing that's preying on his mind
And she don't know which way to go
She says "If you find it darling, let me know"
And he says "Well, this could be so"
Says "I'm a car crash, now tell me baby does it show"

[CHORUS]

Yeah
[CHORUS]

Yeah and
It's blue, blue, blue, a colour and a surge
Everything that rises must converge
