Dirty Water Lyrics

I don't need you hanging 'round my door
Trying to drag me back down to the shore
And I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more

But I got wet from my head down to my legs
And I drink dirty water down to the dregs
Lord, I won't do it again, I don't care who begs

Dirty water, now what's that for?
Dirty water, I ain't drinking no more
I ain't drinking no more

You gotta lie underneath your tongue, where it can't be seen
'Cause if you wanna put the truth on the, the guillotine
But you might as well put fire out with gasoline

If you sum up dirty water from a golden cup
You can try to lock up the truth but that door just won't shut
'Cause the truth keeps coming out like blood from a cut Now it sparkles and it shines but it's just a trick
So we worship down with a little kiss
But that dirty water 'bout to make me sick

Dirty water, now what's that for?
Dirty water, I ain't drinking no more
I ain't drinking no more, no

Well you've been trying to sweeten dirty water with the grenadine
Oh but I can still read you just like a magazine
And I ain't gonna drink no more, till that water runs clean

Dripping, you got the kind of love I can't afford
I don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured
Now I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
No, I ain't gonna drink your dirty water no, no more

No more
(I ain't drinking no more)
