"hey girl let's go down
wash our hands in the carolina tide
let's go down and die
and come back like babies
::
hey girl let's go down
wash our sins in the muddy brown wave
wash the world away
and come back again
::
all these scarlet stains
like the blood red clay
on the knees of our jeans
you can come out righteous if you want babe
you can come out clean
::
hey girl drive all night
down to the water
and live like were alive
let our sleeping die
and roll out of these graves
::
hey girl the water don't know
the shore don't care
who you were before
we're not them anymore
you know we're not the same
