Title
- Oh, yeah!
- Huh!
- Huh!
- Walk me down to the wishin' well
- Help me find that miracle
- Splash that holy water on me
- Drown my faith in Trinity, yeah
- Oh, Lord
- Little by little gonna get it I swear
- One more piece of the puzzle, I'm there. Yeah
- Gotta get lucky, gotta get that done
- Little bit o' luck never hurt no one
- Come on, take me down, down, down, down
- I'm in a cold sweat
- Lord, don't let me drown, drown, drown, drown
- In Mother Earth's soul, yet!
- Oh, yeah yeah!
- Under darken skies
- We'll see the light
- Yeah!
- Broken now, I can't help but feel
- Someone cracked the seventh seal
- Nothin' sacred, nothin' left unturned
- When nothin's simple, then nothin's learned
- So take me down to the virgin spring
- Wash away my suffering, oh
- Splash that holy water on me
- Wash my eyes so I can see
- Come on, take me down, down, down, down
- I'm in a cold sweat
- Yeah, don't let me drown, drown, drown, drown
- In Mother Earth's soul, not yet
- Lord, I think I found, found, found, found, found
- My mother lode! Hey!
- Oh, yeah!
- Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
- Yeah! Down, down, down, down, down, down
- Take me down, down, down, down, down, down
- (Down, down, down, down, down, down)
- Take me
- Hey!
- There's a time and place for everything. For everyone
- We can push with all our might, but nothin's gonna come
- Oh no, nothin's gonna change
- An' if I ask you not to try, oh could you let it be?
- I wanna hold you and say
- We can't throw this all away
- Tell me you won't go, you won't go
- You have to hear me say
- I can't stop lovin' you (Ooooo)
- And no matter (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what I say or do
- You know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) my heart is true, oh
- (Ooo-ooo-ooo) I can't stop lovin' you
- You can change your friends, your place in life
- You can change your mind
- We can change the things we say, and do any time
- Oh no, but I think you'll find
- That when you look inside your heart
- Oh baby, I'll be there. Yeah!
- Hold on. I'm holdin' on
- Baby, just come on, come on, come on
- I just wanna hear you say
- I can't stop lovin' you (Ooooo)
- And no matter (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what you say or do
- You know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) my heart is true, oh-oh!
- I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you
- Oh, I'm so twisted and tied
- And all I remember, was how hard we tried
- Only to surrender
- (Guitar Solo)
- (Ahh-ahh) And when it's over
- (Ahhh-ahh) I know how it's gonna be
- And true love will never die
- Or, not fade away
- And I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you
- And no matter (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what I say or do
- You know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) my heart is true, oh
- I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you
- And I know (Ooo-ooo-ooo) what I got to do
- Hey Ray, what you said is true, oh
- I can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you, oh no
- (Ooo-ooo-ooo)
- Oh, can't (Ooo-ooo-ooo) stop lovin' you
- It's ok, I'll do what I want if I choose
- I can take the fall, there's a choice
- It's my destiny in my hands
- Yeah, it's up to me
- I can drive
- I can shoot a gun in the streets
- Score me some heroin
- I can jump, be the sacrifice
- Bear the cross just like Jesus Christ
- And I don't wanna hear what love can do
- No, I ain't gonna tell you what's right for you
- Is it right, to take the easy way?
- Close your eyes, get on your knees and pray
- Now you're saved, by a higher voice
- Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice
- If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it
- If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
