Bad Water

On a moonless night we gathered 'round the stones While the wind outside it whipped, And howled and moaned Then there came a scratching at the door And a spirit spoke that was never heard before "I have come in answer to your prayer I can feel your sweat inside of there I will give you all that you desire And, in turn, there's one thing I require Is it money? I will steal for you Is it women? I can get them too" "Don't stop with just your own delicious pain Tell all your relations of my name All you have is all I need All your children come and worship me I'll make you stronger And cleverer than most I'll feed you happiness If you keep me close" "You will hide your face, For the love of bad water You will turn your back on everyone. You'll deny your faith, For the love of bad water And you will learn how deep bad water runs, Oh, bad water runs." "Call me sweet addiction, call me friend I am the beginning of the end Soon your sorry, old traditions will be gone I am all you need from now on" "You will hide your face For the love of bad water You will turn your back on everyone You'll deny your faith For the love of bad water And you will learn how deep bad water runs You will hide your face For the love of bad water You won't feel your hand upon your gun You'll deny your faith For the love of bad water And you will learn how deep bad water runs Oh, bad water runs"
