lyrics

I drank all the water in the holy grail
I tore my Bible and sang a prayer, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
I looked at the children & the baby's cryin'
& father's sweatin' & mama's dyin'

Alone in a house that I never grew up in
I look at an old photograph of someone I once knew
She died never to rise again
She died never to rise again, again, again

'Cause she drank all the water in the holy grail
She tore her bible and sang a prayer, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
She looked at the children & the baby's cryin'
& father's sweatin' & mama's dyin'

Down in the depths of my history
Up to the waist in my own misery
I silent but slowly wait for me
I silent but slowly wait for me
It's gonna take another miracle for us to see

'Cause we drank all the water in the holy grail
We tore the bible and sang a prayer, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
We looked at the children & the baby's cryin'
& father's sweatin' & mama's dyin'

Hey, hey, hey I'm in the city
Hey, hey, hey let's make it look pretty
Hey, hey, hey I'm in the city
Hey, hey, hey let's make it look pretty
