Roland Orzabal Don't Drink The Water lyrics

This is a religion
No, this is a drag
That man over there is smoking sweet cigarettes
Hey, look at that fag

I had a dream, I saw you swim
Sink to your grave
Down to Davy Jones locker
Under the waves

Don't say, "Thank God for simple truths", yeah

Take me to your leader
Take me for a ride
The shutters were never opened
The days I used to hide

All of the things I never knew
I should have said
When you looked like Frida Kahlo
Curled up in bed


Don't say, "Thank God for simple truths", yeah

Don't drink the water, baby
Don't drink the water, baby

So much emotion
These eyes a strange kind of blue
Deep as the ocean
They named a sea after you

Don't say, "Thank God for simple truths", yeah

Don't drink the water, baby
Don't drink the water, baby
Don't drink the water, baby
Don't drink the water, baby
