Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Mmm, a sailin' snake, oh, from the pulpit

At the church on Maine

They're makin' deals with the Devil

In the good Lord's name

I'm stuck at home wishin'

A dirty soul cleansin'

Ain't got a dime for the time

I believe in music

Personal communion

Can't lead you right to the light

Give me some of that holy water

A bit of that holy water

Just a nip on that holy water

Holy water gonna make us drown (Drown)

They're pushin' concrete at the courthouse

Whether you like it or not

(Ah-ooh)

So tell the bank man to cash your paycheck

So you can piss in a pint

I'm stuck at home wishin'

I could just go fishin'

And throw some bait on the line

You can't skip a stone when the river's overgrown

And there ain't even a cloud in the sky

Give me some of that holy water

Just a bit of that holy water

Just a nip on that holy water

Holy water gonna make us drown (Drown)

Take us down

Mmm, I need a sip of that holy water

Just a bit of that holy water

Just a nip on that holy water

Holy water gonna make us drown

I want a hit of that holy water

A sip of that holy water

Get a grip of that holy water (Holy water)

Gonna drink it 'til we finally drown

Mmm, I wanna drink it 'til I finally drown

(Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy water)

Mmm

(Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy water)

It's gonna take us down

(Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy water)

Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy water

(Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy water)

Holy water gonna make us drown
