lyrics

water goes down to the lowest place
water goes down to the lowest place
and I want the water to come to me
yeah I want the water to come to me

As the carving so the carver
as the hunger so the starver
as the craved one so the luster
as the forgiver so the sinner

I search for an empty quiet place
I search for an empty quiet place
but the desert will never come to me
no the desert will never come to me

As the remembered one so the recaller
as the deserted one so the forsaker
as the blood and body so the partaker
as the cause of injury, so is the healer

the sugar you accepted, the medicine you fought
but it was medicine that brought you what the sugar forgot
and in the wind and rain I can recall what in the cool summer days I forgot

a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down but when you're
only taking sugar then your fever won't go down
unless you drink it all up
unless you drink it down down down

He strips away the pretty part
he finds the seed and dries it out
he puts in near the fire for a while and it really hurts
he lets it sit, he grinds it up
he pours scalding water over it
but even this is not enough unless he pours it in a cup
oh even this is not enough unless he drinks it down and up

Blood is flowing through my body
don't run me over
just don't run me over
it's not too much to ask

Breath is flowing through my body
oh can't you see it
oh can't you see it when
it's cold out
when it's cold out

How am I to live in weakness?
How am I to live in loneliness?
Oh these overwhelming deaths I die
and yet
I live

Water goes down to the lowest place
And I want the water to come to me
