I can't do without a name or town
I'm like a weed out of the barren ground
Walked until the sun had peeled my skin
Found a waterhole and fell right in

Please, take me now
Oh waterhole, please take me down
Please, let me drown
Oh waterhole, just let me drown

What was I before and where's the why
A cruel chill beneath a crueler sky
Don't tell me that I was born to die
It feels like I was born to burn alive

Please, take me now
Oh waterhole, please take me down
Please, let me drown
Oh waterhole, just let me drown

Now across a river for my grave
If you've been leaving hell, the road is paved
Better off to never take one breath
When life is but a fate that flatters death

Please, take me now
Oh waterhole, please take me down
Please, let me drown
Oh waterhole, just let me drown

Please, take me now
Oh waterhole, please take me down
Please, let me drown
Oh waterhole, just let me drown, let me drown
