Whoa I smelled you again today
The traffic breeze it blows us slowly
Will I lay inside a hundred maidens
Will I smell you again today
Hey there God
Whoa it happened to me today
Strychnine water fought to drown me
The lonely early morning canteen strolling
The fire on my inside fought to drown me
Hey there God
And I'm a little problem through
And I'm a little spent too
You'll wanna scream too
Was I born afire or set on fire
The question newly sought was found to me
Hey there God
And I'm a little problem through
And I'm a little spent too
You'll wanna scream too
Was I born afire
Or was I set on fire
Whoa it happened to me today
Strychnine water fought to drown me
Will I lay inside a hundred maidens
Will I smell you again today
Hey there God
And I'm a little problem through
And I'm a little spent too
You'll wanna scream too
