from the songs album Heartbreaker
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.
