Everybody told me,

And I knew it myself,

“Don’t drink the water.

It’s bad for your health.”

But god it’s hot. I had no choice.

The sun has burned down on me,

And even though they told me so,

I drink it deep, drink it deep.

Even though we both know

What we know we can’t say no.

The world is blind to what it finds.

The world is blind though the sun shines.

Now I kneel before the sacred basin,

And offer all the sweetest of all sin,

But god it’s hot. I had no choice.

The sun has burned down on me,

And even though, they told me so,

I drink it deep, drink it deep.

Even though we both know

What we know we can’t say no.

The world is blind to what it finds.

The world is blind, though it shines.

Even though we both know

What we know we can’t say no.

The world is blind to what it finds. (You would not mind)

The world is blind though it shines. (To my mind)

Oh whoa oh
