Burning the Water Brown

What a shame, what a shame so quick

Life lost so young and missed

When it’s stubbed out suddenly, turned off like the flick of a switch

Once you exit out the back door, can’t come round here no more

No re-entry no return it’s a lesson hard learned

Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down

Burning the water brown and in it's depths you will drown

Well he ran around town with Charlie

Well Charlie only makes you sorry

His tracks all lead to nowhere, still you followed without a care

And you never got enough cause you always bought his bluff

So afraid to come down that you never got back up

Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down

Burning the water brown and in it's depths you will drown

Burning the water brown six feet deep underground

Burning the water brown, will it come again for the next of kin?

You become the company you keep

This water brown it puts you to sleep

Well you become the company you keep

This water brown it's rivers run deep

If you go and chase the dragon,

If you try to date china white

Or if the poison people surround you, it just might end your life

Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down

Burning the water brown and in it's depths you will drown

Burning the water brown, six feet deep underground

Burning the water brown, will it come again for the next of kin?
