Drop Me in the Water Lyrics

I dream of the setting suns
And darkness comes as no surprise
I got to get away, got to get away from myself
I'm dancing in this Devils Waltz
I'm dirty and I need your help
I got to get away, got to get away from myself
Oh yeah

Drop me in the water
Try to make me clean
Got this sinking feeling, boat has a leak
Drop me in the water
Try to make me clean
Got this sinking feeling, boat has a leak
This boat has a leak

I sleep to dream away time
My body doesn't feel like mine
I got to get away, got to get away from myself
I'm dancing in this devils waltz
I'm dirty and I need your help
Got to get away, got to get away from myself
Oh yeah

Drop me in the water
Try to make me clean
Got this sinking feeling, boat has a leak
Drop me in the water
Try to make me clean
Got this sinking feeling, boat has a leak
This boat has a leak

There's a long long way to go
Long long way to go

Drop me in the water
Try to make me clean
Got this sinking feeling, boat has a leak
Drop me in the water
Try to make me clean
Got this sinking feeling, boat has a leak
This boat has a leak

Oh
Drop me in the water
Drop me in the water
