[Chorus] Twice
It's hot, it's me, summer, to me
Breathe gas, won't last, sky blue, me too
Helicopter flying over shark bait, shark bite
Covered up, sunburn, leather skin, heatstroke
Make me dash across the ember, it calls to me, the sea
So cold it freezes me, mighty, the chattering
Give me over to the river, my place that loves me
Gum leaves and tea tree, [the river is immortal
I wash, I love the salty spray arrests
And no amount of other water, could bottle the stress
I think I've stopped, [?], I'm a boy, I'm not a boy
I'm paralyzed, I'm paranoid, out of my element
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
It's hot, it's me, the beach, to me
Green grass, won't glow, sky blue, me too
I don't care for cricket, and I don't care for [?]
And I don't care for [?]
So jump into the river, jump into the sea
I feel the hungry fishes come to nibble at my feet
I lay upon the driftwood underneath the willow tree
[?] bask in vanity
I shall choose this life for me
Any day, anyway, any day, anyway, any day, anyway
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water (I prefer the muddy water)
I prefer the muddy water

Fun little jam here, just play around with Dm pentatonic scale for Joey's part (Guitar 1), and flutter the
hell out of your wah pedal for Stu's part (Guitar 2) in the same scale.
