Water Tower (水塔) - Surrogate[00:00:00]
When no one but the locals are around[00:00:17]
You will see them as they gather at the[00:00:21]
Center of this town to pay homage to their[00:00:25]
Monolithic patriarch who stands so tall[00:00:30]
He's seen from miles around[00:00:34]
They worship for the gifts that he bestows[00:00:43]
Like the water that they drink and use to[00:00:47]
Wash their dusty cloths and the way he[00:00:51]
Represents them to the passers by who constantly go trickling[00:00:55]
Down the road[00:01:01]
They will do as they are told[00:01:08]
The old folks know their time has past for usefulness and[00:01:14]
Things that don't last[00:01:24]
But they laugh themselves to sleep as they retire[00:01:27]
'Cause they remember when they built the frame[00:01:39]
That holds that head that bears the name[00:01:46]
But the young ones shake their heads and call them liars[00:01:53]
They know that someday he will come around[00:02:18]
And he'll realize he's far too good for their midwestern town[00:02:23]
And he'll pack his things and move to where the people are[00:02:29]
The southern coast where he'll become a star[00:02:35]
