I hadn't planned for this

Thought I'd washed my hands of it

Dirty water all down my drain

Dirty water never cleaned nothing

I was raised by poor men

Broken from paying for pointless war and original sin

Dirty water all in my veins

Dirty water never changed a thing, child

Walk me down, down to the river

Lead me down, I am blind

Hold me down, down in that river

Lift me up before I die

Lift me up, wipe my eyes

I'm thinking mean, mean things

Sleepwalking, talking like a madman

Stuck on a bad, bad dream

Dirty water all through my brain

Dirty water and it's running like a freight train

Walk me down, down to the river

Lead me down, I am blind

Hold me down, down in that river

Lift me up before I die

Lift me up, wipe my eyes

I hadn't planned for this

Thought I'd washed my hands of it
