Cast out at twenty -three
I asked her to show me line by line
And show me what you mean
My tongue is dense with dirt
Now I need you to wash it clean
Take me down to the water's edge
I know I don't belong here
But I don't think that I can
Cause steel -bellied ships to sink
Me, I am weary and battle -sore
And show me what you mean
My tongue is dense with dirt
Now I need you to wash it clean
Take me down to the water's edge
I know I don't belong here
But I don't think that I can
Take me down to the water's edge
And show me what you mean
My tongue is dense with dirt
Now I need you to wash it clean
Take me down to the water's edge
I know they do me wrong here
Oh, I know they do me wrong
I know they do me wrong here
I know they do me wrong here,
but I don't think I can say
