The Water Songtext
von Frank Black

I hope they′re doing okay

I left my wife and kids back in L.A
I was no good at playing house
So I started heading south
A busboy said you best keep away
From the water

La Barazona Rosa was my home
Some guys they never heard the phrase
When in Rome
Well she knifed that stupid sailor
Now he's gonna need a tailor
For his very special day
Away on the water


I thought it would be very nice
To go downtown and see the bullfight
But the beast had not a chance
When I saw the lance
I heard the sound of a Volkswagen
They tied his body to the bumper and started dragging
I saw the blood separate away
From the water

I hope they′re doing okay
I left my wife and kids back in L.A
I was no good at killing
So I started up Jim Milling
And I still just keep away
From the water

I was no good at killing
So I started up Jim Milling
And I still just keep away
To this day
From the water
