Dirty Water lyrics

This broke the news today.

It's been said a thousand ways.

Let's fix the mess we've made.

It's just begun.

The sky falls a million times.

We hear bells but we can't find

a safe day to walk in blind.

It's just begun.

Turn out the lights and sleep tight tonight.

But I want to feel... to take it all away.

I want to feel... the way they felt that day.

In dirty water... the kids will learn to play beneath the sun

without someone.

These wishes wash to shore.

These goods aren't good no more.

You're where you've never been before.

It's just begun.

It's still a sunny afternoon.

The sky looks so perfect blue

but this heart couldn't beat

any faster.

Turn out the lights and sleep tight tonight.

But I want to feel... to take it all away.

I want to feel... the way they felt that day.

In dirty water... the kids will learn to play beneath the sun

without someone.

Without someone.

Uh... in dirty water... oh, yeah... dirty water... in dirty water.
