Tamed/What Do You Know Songtext
von Kate Dressed Up

It feels like it′s been forever
It hasn't been long at all
And despite genuine efforts
We have gotten nothing done

The bolts have all gone rusty
They came loose during the fall
Now I cannot take them out
Or tighten them at all

We are running out of water
Please accept the last of it
I′d rather you survive
And I die swallowing my spit

"But sir, you are too hasty
I have questions yet for you
Can't you see that you have tamed me
And our hope may yet be true?"


I could kiss the clouds
For bringing us shade
Some respite from the heat
This momentum shift seems
Insurmountable
Like quitting might be worth it now

I carried your body
For days and days
I hoped to quench your thirst
But for all the ground we covered
The cause was all but lost
You consistently insisted it was not

Just when I could not stand
Another moment more
It appeared before us there
With pulley, rope, and pail
The way the water danced
Was impossible to take for granted

Where are you from?
What do you know that I don't?
Where did you learn it?
And what is your heart made of
To keep such perfect secrets hid?
