(Oooh, cascade!)
(Oooh, cascade!)

A seaweed look at you
Through the salty beach
The blossom stone's a flower
The acrobat's a peach

You gave a pebble party there
Why is it no one came
You sold yourself to a shiny man
And spread yourself insane

Take the heart out of slightly weighted clouds
(Oooh, cascade!)
If you're a cascade I wish you'd touch the ground
(Oooh, cascade!)

From crumbled peaks
I sentenced you to me
Your skin was shrinking
Into paper dolls that see

You climbed out of your scrapbook
Lit matches to your find
You burn your very own escape
Returning back inside

Take the heart out of slightly weighted clouds
(Oooh, cascade!)
If you're a cascade I wish you'd touch the ground
(Oooh, cascade!)

Take the heart out of slightly weighted clouds
(Oooh, cascade!)
If you're a cascade I wish you'd touch the ground
(Oooh, cascade!)

You shout a language you hope no one will know
(Oooh, cascade!)
And sinking into lasting death, again you start to grow
(Oooh, cascade!)
You start to grow
(Oooh, cascade!)
No one will know
(Oooh, cascade!)
We're like a rolling stone
(Oooh, cascade!)
Whoa...
