Dirty 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.
mess me up, scratch liquid,
field tested, dirty water,
fell asleep, and found it boat.
cross my heart not to return,
watch it burn, dirty water, all of it .
flag torn, half rations,
steel rusted, dirty water,
found a tree and hitched me up.
brought me down to all i had done,
wouldn't float, dirty water, none of it.
