Lyrics

Water will cleanse our skins But water won't purge our sins 'Cause water is water and blood is blood Though both surround me as I lie in the mud I just paid money to get somewhere I don't want to be Hard-faced strangers look at me The only thing we share is a feeling of indifference and loathing The invisible man had it easy Try being the unlikeable man Just gonna get some water Water will cleanse our skins But water won't purge our sins 'Cause water is water and blood is blood Though both surround me as I lie in the mud I'm in a nightclub and my beer tastes like sweat I look down and think "is that my kneecap twitching in time to the music?" She looks at me as if to say "Don't worry, it'll all be over soon" Just gonna get some water Water will cleanse our skins But water won't purge our sins 'Cause water is water and blood is blood Though both surround me as I lie in the mud And everyone dances together But euphoria is just a state of mind I might get the same feeling from sliding headfirst down a mountain face Knowing my skull is about to crack in two like an egg I've not tried that yet Just give me some water! Water will cleanse our skins But water won't purge our sins 'Cause water is water and blood is blood Though both surround me as I lie in the mud
