We spun like birds on fire Right down towards the residence, and I I took all that I desired Even crooks have to pay the rent We swam like rats on fire Right, right down the reservoir We took all that we could carry But we tried to carry more
And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
We choked on street tap water Well, I'm going to have to try the real thing I took your laugh by the collar And it knew not to swing Any time I tried an honest job Well, the till had a hole and ha-ha We laughed about paying rent Because the county jails, they're free
And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
Deep water, deep water Senseless denial I went down like a rag doll as you would, child Deep water, deep water Senseless denial I went down like a rag doll as you would, child
Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again. I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again Well I just spent my last one hundred dollars God, I'll pay my bill again
Oh, I don't care Oh, how I just don't care
Deep water, deep water Senseless denial I went down like a rag doll, shooken and shy Deep water, deep water Senseless denial I went down like a rag doll rat of a child
Well, King Rat has me on his list again I can never be on the fence again I found out it's all loud Open like an organ and it Talk, talk, talk, talk again He promised me that when I cheated him But I could open my eye, well Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
Deep water, deep water This senseless denial I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles Blue water, deep water Oh, senseless denial I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles
Well, well What do you have to say for yourself? I said, well, well Well? I said well, well, well, well!
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again I hardly knew I should use my feet again What do you have to say for yourself? What do you have to say for yourself?
