Carry the Water

If you wanna bear the burden of bad news
If you wanna try and break all the bad habits
If you wanna let go of that gun in your hand
If you wanna know the hollers of the wasteland

Make yourself low
Buy you a lantern
So you can wrestle with the angels while you're still bleedin'
Carry the water
Listen to the melodies
Make yourself a lover of the mysteries

The prophets, the mystics and the circus freaks
Carry a truth that the rest can't see
They know the power of a storyline
They might know how to bury the devil inside

Make yourself low
Buy you a lantern
So you can wrestle with the angels while you're still bleedin'
Carry the water
Listen to the melodies
Make yourself a lover of the mysteries

When the wounds won't heal
And the levy start to break
And the shadow of the valley of death falls, and we're all losin' faith
When your head's in the lion's mouth
And you'll never be the same
You'll never be the same

Make yourself low
Buy you a lantern
So you can wrestle with the angels while you're still bleedin'
Carry the water
Listen to the melodies
Make yourself a lover of the mysteries

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
