Water's Edge

(album: Churn - 1994)

"Don't go there" I heard her say
"You can't stomach what you're going to see"
It's down there by the water's edge
Wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else

Funny how these things come about
When you're tied to the teeth and mouth
No sound of fury, no shot of pain
There was no real reason, no gain

I can't go down to the water's edge
I didn't do it but I saw who did
Can't go down to the water's edge
They did it once and they can do it again

It ain't no secret to me
How she got there down by the stream
Cause I'd seen her a minute before
The van pulled up and opened the door

I can't say a single word
About what I saw of her
Cause her killers they got their friends
In familiar places, I tell you man

I can't go down to the water's edge
I didn't do it but I saw who did
Can't go down to the water's edge
They did it once and they can do it again

Again
Again
Again
(Again)

Don't go down to the water's edge you said to me
I didn't do it, but I saw who did you see
Don't go down to the water's edge
They did it once and they can do it again

This ain't no fucking game
And I'm feeling so ashamed
Cause I didn't do anything
No I didn't do anything
To stop, to stop, to stop, to stop
This from happening
I didn't do anything
To stop this

Don't go down to the water's edge you said to me
I didn't do it, but I saw who did you see
Don't go down to the water's edge
They did it once and they can do it again

I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear
I swear, I swear, I swear, I didn't do a thing
I should've done something
