There's a spirit floating on the water   There's a shadow lying down by the shore   Wasn't he there a year before?   A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing   A 'paradise' for the lady    Who dares colour him red upon the shore?       We carry the burden upon our shoulder   We carry their lives in the palm of our hand   Don't you care about the state you're in   Or don't you understand?       See the spirit floating on the water   See the shadow lying down by the shore   Wasn't he there some years before?         We carry the burden upon our shoulder   We carry their lives in the palm of our hand   Don't you care about the state you're in   Or don't you understand?
