Lyrics

Yeah, I'm like crackers and mustard
Only good when you're drunk
But I'm there all the time
Just sitting inside
Just waiting on your need for some hollow comfort now
I'm just your paper boy
Begging dignity
You pay the price
I'd live with charity
But I've seen you red-eyed and bleary
Hell, I'm as regular as chastity
I appreciate that smile, I really do
But you know it ain't the tactic I'd use
'Cause you're fishing in some deeper water now
Yeah, you're fishing in some deeper waters now
Well, I awoke like I've been punched in the nose
I walk for miles just to stop the flow
I keep my head down as I wander 'round
Anyone would think I was looking for gold
Now words they fail, yeah, and words they lie
But words are all I got this time
Oh, to let you know I'm sorry, yeah, my lady, my love
To let you know that I'm drowning in this tide
I appreciate that smile, I really do
But you know it ain't the tactic I'd use
'Cause you're fishing in some deeper water now
Oh, yeah, you're fishing in some deeper water now
Yeah, we both know our days ain't dreaming
Yeah, I won't see the bus
As it screams out my number then
Yeah, knocking me down and into the dust
I dragged myself up here, I confess
Because your sun, it shines out of the smile you possess
But I'm drowning in some deeper water now
Uh-huh, I'm drowning in some deeper water now
