We burned brighter than heaven
Lord we, we shone like the stars
I got as as drunk as Bogart
You were just smokin' like Becall
We were digging for diamonds
We were divin' for pearls
Higher up than the satellites
And out of this world (And you sang to me...)
Wade into the water with me
Wash my body down
Take me to the bottom baby
'Cause I won't make a sound
Baptize me like a child
Gotta let salvation start, 'cuze if you
Take me to the bottom of the river, baby
I'll take you to the bottom of my heart
(Nerr nerner nerr nerner nerr take me down to the river)
Well, now the, the river is frozen
The blue moon is down
My drink has run dry
Lord your cigarette's gone out
All the diamonds and the pearls, yeah
All the silver and the gold
They were all turned to the dust, yeah
It's so cold
(Sing it now)
Wade into the water with me
Wash my body down
Take me to the bottom baby
'Cause I won't make a sound
Baptize me like a child
Gotta let salvation start
'Cause if you take me
To the bottom of the river, baby
I will take you
I will take you, now...
Wade into the water with me
Wash my body down
Take me to the bottom baby
'Cause I won't make a sound
Baptize me like a child
Gotta let salvation start
'Cause if you take me
To the bottom of the river, baby
I'll take you to the bottom of my heart
(Nerr nerner nerr nerner nerr take me down to the river)
Deep down, yeah
Deep down to the bottom
(Nerr nerner nerr nerner nerr take me down to the river)
(Nerr nerner nerr nerner nerr take me down to the river)
(Repeat instrumental to fade. Phasers, 909s, Groviness and lurve.)
