Well, well, well, well      We spun like birds on fire   Right down towards the residence   And I, I took all that I desired   Even crooks have to pay the rent      We swam like rats on fire   Right, right down the reservoir   We took all that we could carry   But we tried to carry more      And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong   And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong      We choked on street tap water   Well, I'm going to have to try the real thing   I took your laugh by the collar   And it knew not to swing      Any time I tried an honest job   Well, the till had a hole in it   We laughed about paying rent   'Cause the county jails they're free      And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong   And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong      Deep water, deep water, senseless denial   I went down like a rag doll as you would, child   Well, deep water, deep water, senseless denial   I went down like a rag doll as you would, child      Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again   I said it looks it's time to use my feet again   Well, I just spent my last one hundred dollars   God, I'll pay my bill again      Oh, I don't care   Oh, I just don't care      Deep water, deep water, senseless denial   I went down like a rag doll shaken and shy   Deep water, deep water, senseless denial   I went down like a burned out rag of a child      Well, King Rat has me on his list again   I can never be on the fence again   I found out it's all loud open like an organ and it   Talk, talk, talk, talk again      He promised me that when I cheated him   But I could open my eye, well   Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky   Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again      Deep water, deep water, senseless denial   I got fed like a fish full of open smiles   Blue water, deep water, senseless denial   I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles      Well, well   What do you have to say for yourself?   I said well, well, well   I said well, well, well, well, well      Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again   I hardly knew I should use my feet again   What do you have to say for yourself?   What do you have to say for yourself?
