Holy Water

I got a top hat and a walkin' cane
black cat on a golden chain
white shirt with a bloody stain
I'm going to the river of love

She got long hair and big brown eyes
she belong there, it was no surprise
nothing wrong there, she made me realize
goin' to the river of love
goin' down to the river of love

Oh Holy Water
take me down
hold me under

Oh I feel the power
Fill my soul
with righteous thunder

I was decayed- just like a cavity
dismayed by my depravity
I got waylaid by all the gravity
till we went down to the river of love

She is an angel- her name is Tiffany
she kind of strange tho but my epiphany
I wouldn't change yo cause she is gift to me
and she leads me to the river of love
we goin' down to the river of love

I look around and I see loneliness
and hearts so bitter and cold
and filled with tawdriness
and dark temptations of the soul
to cure the emptiness you live with every night
and day

But I'm here to tell you- that ain't the way
you gotta sing it out
you gotta reach for the sky
until you ring it out
and kiss the devil good bye

you gotta wrap your arms around the woman you love
and raise your eyes to the Lord above
yes raise 'em up to the Lord above and say

Oh Holy Water
take me down
hold me under

Oh I feel the power
Fill my soul
with righteous thunder

I got tight pants and hight heel boots
silk gloves and a striped suit
black hair with some silver roots
goin' to the river of love
goin' down to the river of love
