Album: Before These Crowded Streets
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Come out, come out, no use in hiding
Come now, come now, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me
So, you will lay your arms down
Yes, I will call this home
Here's the hitch your horse is leading
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now
And as you go out, I'll spread my wings
Yes, I will call this home
For I have no time to justify to you
Fool, you're blind, so move aside for me
All I can say to you, men, you neighbors
You must move on, or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them
Well I can breathe my own air, and I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor soles, crawled into
Heaven and called it home
And I live with no justice
And I live with my greed in me
Oh I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzy feeding
I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
Oh I live with the notion that I dont need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water
