Speedwater Songtext
von Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons

Mouth full of copper is hard to wash down with your tea
Vinegar piss stains like badges the whole world can see
Answers to questions you can′t discuss casually
Like why would any of this shit remind you of me

See them all line up on opposite sides of the street
Their moral convictions are wrapped up in banners and pink
Lack of compassion for the way that the other ones think
sometimes to stand on the side of the righteous just stinks

Speedwater, Speedwater burnin' a hole in my tongue
Speedwater, Speedwater kicking the air from my lungs
Speedwater, Speedwater the party′s just only begun
And it starts right here


You say that my history keeps you from sleeping at night
It worries me too but the past is a ghost I can't fight
Battle scars tend to show valor they don't make it right
Still actions speaks louder than glamour when held to the light

Speedwater, Speedwater sometimes you throw it all out
It′s never about what they tell you that it is about
Speedwater, Speedwater give me a safe place to run
Lick me and clean me and cooling me off when I′m done
Cause I'm done with you

Speedwater, Speedwater burnin′ a whole in my soul
Speedwater, Speedwater rip it out of my control
It's never about what they tell you that it is about
Speedwater, Speedwater sometimes
I tire of the show
Speedwater, Speedwater sometimes this scene fuckin′ blows
And it blows on you
