Jethro Tull Drink From The Same Well Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro - 00:00 - 07:58]

I drink from the same well as you
I drink from the same well as you

Throng of disparate priestly spirits
Wind-blown, drift on the blood-red sands
They cast a spell of early warning
No welcome shake of their blood-red hands

They drink from the same well as you
They drink from the same well as you
A nod, a wink from the neon bar
In a sad backstreet of sweet ladyboys
Defy the leer of phobic drunken
Macho men chanting football noise

They drink from the same well as you
Yes, and they drink from the same well as you

Draw thе bucket, roll the dice
Call thе coin, call it twice
Tell me which way you choose
Do I care? Yours to lose

I drink from the same well as you Yes, and I drink from the same well as you

Culture bending, message sending
Shouts of river to the sea
Displaying wilful ignorance
As to shifting tides of history

They drink from the same well as you
Yes, and they drink from the same well as you

We lovers lost in doomed matrimony
Cast adrift on an angry sea
Of angry words, vicious, vindictive
Low-hanging fruit on Eve's poisoned tree
I drink from the same well as you
You drink from the same well as me
Yes, I drink from the same well as you
Yes, and you drink from the same well as me

Chew it over, chew the cud
Join hand in hand before the flood
Tell me which way you choose
Do I care? Yours to lose
