Treading Water Underneath The Stars

You may not believe me, but
The villagers are finding better ways
To bring the water from the reservoir
And when the markers start to drop
They plan to replace all the fluids
With a substance that they purchased from the company store
I say this in the strictest confidence, of course
Should your sister ask you anything
Tell her what you want, except the truth
I have her notebooks, the figures are confusing
A few small tweaks and twists
We’ll blow the shingles off the roof
Treading water underneath the stars
Treading water underneath the stars
Treading water underneath the stars
Treading water underneath the stars
Treading water underneath the stars
