lyrics

Addicted to the Water

Turning back the clocks to the time and place
Perming flowers in your hair
Enchantment on your face

Playing in smokey clubs full of drunken fools
Throwing beer bottles on the stage
Thinking it was cool

Addicted to the water that puts me to sleep
Will I ever wake from the deep
The tour was jinxed when the lights went out
In a storm of angry shouts

The show’s been called off
The power’s been cut off
The tour has ended
The deal suspended

The rooster has been fried for dinner
Cooked alive for the last sinner
It made no difference where they’d been
Death walked in front of them

Looking for an escape to eternity
Sleeping for years might provide the opportunity

Addicted to the water that puts me to sleep
Will I ever wake from the deep
The tour was jinxed when the lights went out
In a storm of angry shouts

The show’s been called off
The power’s been cut off
The tour has ended
The deal suspended

The organ was lifted onto the stage with a crane
Chessman showed no signs of being insane
The scarey voice of Vincent Price
Who dared him to roll the dice
And don’t even think twice

Addicted to the water that puts me to sleep
Will I ever awake from the deep
The tour was jinxed when the lights went out
In a storm of angry shouts

The show’s been called off
The power’s been cut off
The tour has ended
The deal suspended
