I Need a Drink of Water In My Mind

[Verse 1]
I thought I had a problem, I thought that I was sick
A ludicrous idea in a country run by Dick
I first ran to the preacher and then ran to the shrink
They screamed, "You need repair work, your love is out of sync!"

[Verse 2]
Now mother was embarrassed and father was upset
They wanted me committed or treated by a vet
Now I refused both invitations and ran into your arms
Knowing I was damned to hell when heaven sent your charms

[Chorus]
And I need a drink of water in my mind
It's dirty from the way our love's defined
I can't seem to get it clean with smoke and wine
And I need to drink your water in my mind

[Verse 3]
I could not livе without you, I had to live in shame
Guilty and embarrassеd that our plumbing was the same
A camera caught us playing, the plumber was a spy
In the eye of the beholder is where perversion lies

[Chorus]
And I need a drink of water in my mind
It's dirty from the way our love's defined
I can't seem to get it clean with smoke and wine
And I need to drink your water in my mind

[Verse 4]
Now in this lonesome cell I realized that something was amiss
Something very different, you know, from the rightness of our kiss
Now it's a major, major revelation, you know, that the world itself is lewd
And it ain't just by each other that we are being screwed

[Chorus]
And I need a drink of water in my mind
It's dirty from the way our love's defined
I can't seem to get it clean with smoke and wine
And I need to drink your water in my mind
And I need to drink your water in my mind
And I need to drink your water in my mind
Wah wah, wah wah, wah wah
