Wade In The Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the missionary's on the way home
pistol grey, heart and lungs
press to hard, don't give a fuck
to keep them white, sweet forgiveness
there's been no soldiers
just pharmacists and sneaks
skin like paper, light as confirmation wine
wade in the water (4x)
hydroplane, like a sailor
across the tar, along the lake
hanging like a busted wing
watch the doctor boil you clean
fresh cut lawn, sweet forgiveness
light as confirmation wine
wade in the water (4x)
