    Story Behind the Song
    I woke up from a nap drooling and clinging to this tune in my head. The original lyrics for the chorus in my dream were "the man from caledonia was all that she saw, and she broke for the edge of the water."

    Lyrics
    it's hot. i can't see.
    i'm blind from the sun and the sand.
    every inch of my skin is cracked and sunk in
    like the wicked old map in my hand.
    i'm dying for a drop to drink.
    can you show me the way to the river?
    i'm crying, but i have no tears
    so i just curl back my lips and i shiver.

    will i drink today?
    when will the rain come?
    maybe i'll just fill my mouth up with sand
    and i'll choke and pretend
    it's the water.

    it's hot. i am tired.
    i sink to my knees in the sand.
    i slip into the dark black womb of sleep
    as my eye begins to expand.
    i dream i am drowning in the depths of the sea.
    i drink as i die, as i gurgle and cry,
    it could be worse.
    at least i'm not dying of thirst.

    the salt stings my throat
    my kingdom for a boat
    i wake with a scar and i taste what is real
    cause my thirst is a meal for the water.

    there's a touch on my shoulder.
    i turn, and no one is there.
    but before my sad gaze, an oasis for days.
    a new answer to my old prayer.
    and i can't help but think
    that i'm sure to sink.
    so i don't have a throat.
    and i cannot drink.
    so i turn and i walk and cough and i choke
    because my heart was broken in water.
