[verse one] don't let your river of tears run into the whiskey bottle life's rough, that much is clear but drowning only makes it hollow [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [verse two] in deep water, barely treading waves keep coming, no land in sight keep your head up, keep on heading toward the morning, toward the light [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [verse three] don't you water down your living pouring cold on your own fire muddy waters ain't forgiving keep your aim a little higher [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [verse four] dead in the water, going nowhere no wind left to fill the sail tide turns for the ones who stay there hang on tight, you will not fail [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [verse five] that's just water under the bridge now let it roll off a duck's back what's behind you can't reach you somehow when you're rolling down the track [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [verse six] test the waters, take a chance fish out of water, learn to swim life's a wild and wavy dance jump on in, the light ain't dim [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [verse seven] blood's thicker than water, true enough when the levee starts to break hold your people when it's rough that's the line you never fake [deep dark 8bit voice] cold water! [chorus] get liquid, ride the wild wave have yourself a real good time but don't let that water bog you down don't let that water bog you down [bridge] water finds a way, my friend through the stone and through the night every river finds its end in the morning, in the light [deep dark 8bit voice] cold cold cold water! [outro] don't let that water bog you down don't let that water bog you down
