            Deeper Well






Ebm
The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes 

Burned so hot I thought I'd died 

Thought I'd died and gone to hell 

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well 

I went to the river but the river was dry 

I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky 

I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell 

I saw the water from a deeper well 

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 

I was ready for love I was ready for the money 

Ready for the blood and ready for the honey 

Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell 

Lookin' for the water from a deeper 

well I found some love and I found some money 

Found that blood would drip from the honey 

Found I had a thirst that I could not quell 

Lookin'for the water from a deeper well 

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 

Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith 

I did it for lust and I did it for hate 

I did it for need and I did it for love 

Addiction stayed on tight like a glove 

So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night 

And the three of us were a terrible sight 

Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell 

To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 

I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage 

I shook those walls and I rattled that gage 

I took my trouble down a deadend trail 

Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail 

Hey there mama did you carry that load 

Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road 'Bout the rebel yell


'bout the one that fell Lookin' for the water from a deeper well 

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well
