Lyrics

Oh my god Please help me Knee deep in the river tryin' to get clean He says wash your hands Get out the stains But you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay Yeah you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay, sayin' Come on Oh my god Please help me Waist deep in the river, can you hear my plea? He says, son, you come like a beggar in the street You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth, sayin' I rambled with the worst of them Fell in love with a Harlequin Saw the darkest hearts of men And I saw myself starin' back again And I saw myself starin' back again Oh my god Please help me Neck deep in the river screamin' for relief He says, it's mine to give But it's yours to choose You're gonna sink or swim, you're gonna learn the truth No matter what you do you're gonna learn the truth sayin' Ate the bread that once was stone Fell from a cliff, never broke a bone Bowed down to get the kings overthrown And I'm all alone and the fire grows And I'm all alone and the fire grows La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la Swing sweet charity Take what's left of me A new beginning or is this the end? Swing sweet Seraphim Take me back again Or watch me make the messes of men
