Who are we sometimes I wonder Mercenaries or lovers On this side of the thunder It can be awful hard to know
Sell our love for the paycheck or Spend the night on the freight deck For all the dues that we collect Our hearts can be overdrawn
Dead in the water Like lamb to the slaughter If the wind doesn't sing her song And I'm speaking in tongues Cause I need a Holy Ghost
The geeks they can smell when you're coming Even out in the cold They'll wait you out yeah They'll grind you down But they're gonna get what they're owed
I know the red thread unravels I know you're blue and you're black But there's still time if you don't mind The way that the odds are stacked
Dead in the water Lamb to the slaughter If the wind doesn't sing her song And I'm speaking in tongues Cause I need a Holy Ghost
