"Poison Water" lyrics

Hear the bullets flying, burst your eardrums if they could
Holy water blessing, cast your own protective spells
Big man in a balaclava, big man going to tell you what comes next
Hard man in a Ford Cortina with a concealed weapon at his legs

Poison water, your inheritance was a skip and a chip on both shoulders
Poison water always gathers at the mouth of the stream
The lip of the well well well

Give me your hands they're freezing, purple soldiers in the cold
Faces melt together, digital halos lit by phones
Speak or be forever silent, speak now or forever hold your tongue

Poison water, your inheritance was a skip and a chip on both shoulders
Poison water always gathers at the mouth of the stream
The lip of the well well well

Turn my feelings into poems
Then I don't feel so alone
Turn my feelings into poems then I don't feel so alone

In fifty years from now your El Dorado
Will be embryonic infantilised shrapnel
Exploding like that smack to the face of Johnny Fontaine
As snowflakes come falling down
Coagulating like dirty water at the mouth of the stream, the lip of the well
