Water's Edge

"Don't go there," I heard her say

"You can't stomach what you're gonna see"

It's down there, by the water's edge

Wasted and bloated and waitin' for someone else

Funny how these things come about

When you're tied to the teeth and mouth

The sound of fury, a 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, I saw who did

Can't go down to the water's edge

They did it once, and they can do it again

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 (oh my love)

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, I saw who did

Don't go down to the water's edge

They did it once, they can do it again

This ain't no fuckin' game

And I'm feelin' 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 did not do anything

"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, they can do it again

I swear, I swear

I swear, I swear

I didn't do a thing

I should've done something
