Song Lyrics

Everybody told me
And I knew it myself
Don't drink the water
It's bad for your health

[Chorus]
But god, it's hot I had no choice
The sun it burned down on me
Even though they told me so
I drink it deep, I drink it deep

Even though, we both know
What we know, we can't say no
The world is blind to what it finds
The world is blind though the sun shines

Now I kneel
Before the sacred basin
And offer up
The sweetest of all sin

[Chorus]

Even though, we both know
What we know, we can't say no
The world is blind to what it finds
The world is blind though it shines

Rivers Cuomo
