The View Lyrics
Who deserves a pretty tangle dream
Green hillside, hands inside hands
I lay before you like unclaimed land
You drove your bulldozer over
Wrote your name in the sand
I am new, watch the smoke move through
You've got this world, and the wine in your hand
So you drink it down, then you look at me
And offer me some watered down potion
Always one to let out devotion
Tell me you've been saving it for me
Who deserves a pretty tangled dream
Green hillside, hands inside hands
I lay before you like unclaimed land
Clear economic potential
You hung yourself in the sky frozen blue
My smile, a tattoo, you're happy with what you've created
Tell me to choose like some big suit tycoon
You used to shine, I can't find where you drink it down
Yeah look at me, offer me a watered down potion
Always one to let out devotion
Green hillside, hands inside hands
I lay before you like unclaimed land
You drove your bulldozer over
Wrote your name in the sand
I am new, watch the smoke move through
You've got this world, and the wine in your hand
And offer me some watered down potion
Always one to let out devotion
Tell me you've been saving it for me
Green hillside, hands inside hands
I lay before you like unclaimed land
Clear economic potential
You hung yourself in the sky frozen blue
My smile, a tattoo, you're happy with what you've created
Tell me to choose like some big suit tycoon
Yeah look at me, offer me a watered down potion
Always one to let out devotion

It's "Eau de Toillette of devotion"
Eau de Toillette is watered down perfume. When you buy perfume/cologne and it says "eau de toillette," you know it's the cheaper kind.
I think it's weird that the one talking about "The View" is called "Eau de Toillette" and the one talking about "Eau de Toillette" is talking about "The View"
And by "the one" i mean, the song, haha
watered down lotion, not watered down potion.
These are the lyrics to "Eau de Toilette." The copy of the album circulating the internet is incorrectly tagged (based on the tracklisting on the album liners).
