[Verse 1] We are kneeling at the rivers edge and tempting All the steps to follow closer right behind Is it only when you feel a part is empty That it’s gnawing at the corners of your mind
[Pre-Chorus] I will ask you for mercy I will come to you blind What you’ll see is the worst me Not the last of my kind
[Chorus] Oooo—o—oh In the muddy water we’re falling Oooo—o—oh In the muddy water we’re crawling Holds me down Hold me now Sold me out In the muddy waters we’re falling
[Verse 2] It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway Where we end is not the way that we had planned All the spirits gather 'round like its our last day To get across you know we’ll have to raise the sand
[Pre-Chorus] Oooh, I will ask you for mercy I will come to you blind What you’ll see is the worst me I'm not the last of my kind
[Chorus] Oooo—o—oh In the muddy water we’re falling Oooo—o—oh In the muddy water we’re crawling Holds me down Hold me now Sold me out In the muddy waters we’re falling
[Bridge] Ooooh Don’t fail me now Put your arms around me and pull me out Ooooh I know I’m found With your arms around me, oh save me now
[Chorus] Oooo—o—oh In the muddy water we’re falling Oooo—o—oh In the muddy water we’re crawling Holds me down Hold me now Sold me out In the muddy waters we’re falling
