Lyrics Bottom of the Lake - The Builders and the Butchers

Bottom of the Lake

I got a new home
Down among the fish and grass and stones
I was taken down because I stole money that was owed
You can have fun with a little fire
But if you take me as a liar
You can count your days
And watch the steps you take
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
At the bottom of the lake, where the roots all grow
Sun don’t shine and the wind don’t blow
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
Oh, you can take a penny
You can put one upon each eye
I rode a pair of concrete boots on the cold day that I died
And I wore a black stone
I had one outstanding loan, I couldn’t pay
Oh, but I would pay, 'cuz my life they stole away
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
At the bottom of the lake, where the roots all grow
Sun don’t shine and the wind don’t blow
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
And it’s so much better on my mind not to count my days
And it’s so much better on my mind not to count my days
And it’s so much better on my mind not to count my days
And it’s so much better on my mind not to count my days
Not to count my days…
I got a new home
Down among the fish and grass and stones
I was taken down because I stole money that was owed
You can have fun with a little fire
But if you take me as a liar
You can count your days
And watch the steps you take
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
At the bottom of the lake, where the roots all grow
Sun don’t shine and the wind don’t blow
You can find me at the bottom of the lake
