The Handsome Family
The Oldest Water
[Verse 1]
Some water tastes colder
Been rattling through time
Flowing through bodies
Up into the sky
The oldest known water
Found deep in a mine
Spent billions of years
Bubbling in brine
Miles below rock
That old ocean flowed
Full of microscopic creatures
All together and all alone

[Chorus]
So close to the edge
So close to the great divide

[Verse 2]
The first living cell
Growing fat in the shallows
Met the first stranger
When it split down the middle
But once made sеparate
There's no going wholе
Water loves melting
And flesh eats alone
[Chorus]
So close to the edge
So close to the great divide
