| On a moonless night we gathered 'round the stones
|
| While the wind outside it whipped,
|
| And howled and moaned
|
| Then there came a scratching at the door
|
| And a spirit spoke that was never heard before
|
| «I have come in answer to your prayer
|
| I can feel your sweat inside of there
|
| I will give you all that you desire
|
| And, in turn, there’s one thing I require
|
| Is it money?
|
| I will steal for you
|
| Is it women?
|
| I can get them too»
|
| «Don't stop with just your own delicious pain
|
| Tell all your relations of my name
|
| All you have is all I need
|
| All your children come and worship me
|
| I’ll make you stronger
|
| And cleverer than most
|
| I’ll feed you happiness
|
| If you keep me close»
|
| «You will hide your face,
|
| For the love of bad water
|
| You will turn your back on everyone.
|
| You’ll deny your faith,
|
| For the love of bad water
|
| And you will learn how deep bad water runs,
|
| Oh, bad water runs.»
|
| «Call me sweet addiction, call me friend
|
| I am the beginning of the end
|
| Soon your sorry, old traditions will be gone
|
| I am all you need from now on»
|
| «You will hide your face
|
| For the love of bad water
|
| You will turn your back on everyone
|
| You’ll deny your faith
|
| For the love of bad water
|
| And you will learn how deep bad water runs
|
| You will hide your face
|
| For the love of bad water
|
| You won’t feel your hand upon your gun
|
| You’ll deny your faith
|
| For the love of bad water
|
| And you will learn how deep bad water runs
|
| Oh, bad water runs» |
