Water Torture

Why won’t you tell me the truth of it

Before you get submarined

Why don’t you tell me the truth of it

Cuz I, I think you know what I mean

 

I lift your head up high

I have tied your hands

I push your head down low

I pull up just in time, this time

 

A kidnapping on a city street

A chartered plane in the sky

We beat you under this bright light

To make you think you might die

 

I lift your head up high

I have tied your hands

I push your head down low

I pull you up this time, just in time
