KILLER WATER ROSE
ROUND MY KNEES AND FROZE
FEAR INTO MY BONES
SHOULD I STAY OR GO?
STAY OR GO
SHOULD I STAY OR GO?

SAID MY BUDDHIST PRAYER
LEFT YOU STANDING THERE
SEARCHED FOR ME EVERYWHERE
EVERYWHERE
SOAKING WET EVERYWHERE

I KEPT CALLING OUT TO YOU
I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO

JUMPED THAT SAD TRAILWAYS
SIDEWAYS RAIN FOR DAYS
DIESEL IN MY MOUTH
ANYWHERE BUT SOUTH
ANYWHERE BUT SOUTH
ANYWHERE SOLID GROUND


EYES AS BLACK AS COAL
WINDOWS TO THE SOUL
WHY’D YOU LET MY HAND GO
WHY DID YOU LET GO
KILLER WATER LET GO

YOU SHARED YOUR MEAGER MEAL WITH ME
IT TASTED LIKE INTEGRITY

KILLER SOLO

CHIPPED ENAMAL CUP
BARELY STRENGTH TO HOLD UP
FRUITLESS DEED IN THE MUD
STUCK IN MUD
NEVER HOLD MY HEAD UP

I KEPT CALLING OUT TO YOU
I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO

EYES AS BLACK AS COAL
KILLER WATER WILL FLOW….vamp
