Don't Ask for the Water |
| i hate this old place |
| what it represents |
| and i hate who i was |
| who i ended up since |
| if you learn how to swim |
| just in case you drown |
| don’t ask her for the water |
| cause she’ll swallow you down |
| it’s just 10 miles a piece |
| and the hardest of nights |
| and her bellfries got arch |
| but her rooftops alright |
| down here in the sewer |
| i’m smellin a rat |
| don’t ask her for the whiskey |
| cause the water’s all that |
| and what horses we rode |
| through what somber fields |
| with our lovers at war |
| and the dust on our heels |
| and the infidels screamed |
| it’s all been a lie |
| don’t ask her for the water |
| cause she’ll teach to cry |
| don’t ask her for the water |
| cause she’ll teach to cry |
| and her weapon of choice |
| is a red pattern dress |
| and a sack full of stones |
| with her hands on her chest |
| and a book full of quotes |
| and a tight fastened lip |
| don’t ask her for the water |
| cause you’ll sink like a ship |
| don’t ask her for the water |
| cause you’ll sink like a ship. |
