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?
