40 Days & 40 Nights

For 40 days and 40 nights
All it did was rain
Flood, a flood, a flood outside my door again

Water, oh water, oh water everywhere
But not a drop to drink
Well my babies says they're thirsty
Oh what am I to think

Left down, left down below the basement
Left down, left down below the basement
Left down, left down below the basement
Well that is where they will would find
Oh where they would find
All the lovers
All the lovers

Well Jesus Christ
And Heaven's Saints arrived on bedroom doors
Saving all the crying children
And those lonely, lonely whores

Why oh why everywhere outside my door again
The shouts of joy, the shouts of heaven, the shouts of sin

Left down, left down below the basement
Left down, left down below the basement
Left down, left down below the basement
Well that is where they will would find
Oh where they would find
All the lovers
All the lovers

The clock turned on and we were waiting in a holocaust
Water, water, water, water rushing in
Their is still no one
No one even dared to come
To save us from the wretched water
Or to save us from our sins

Well open your mind baby, Or take the plunge, be not afraid
Be not afraid of drowning, boy you fight off the water
Or your scared of the rain
We'll your hiding your body, or by all these complaints

I call this all amazing, amazing, life we all live in
Yes it's damn hard to live in
But still it's so giving
I call this all such an amazing, amazing, life we all live in
Shall i beat you down but still old so forgiving
But still it's so forgiving, sometimes sweet but bitter life
Oh this sweet but bitter life, hey!

Well wife's and widows waiting, throughout the winter's cold
While their waiting for their lovers, waiting for fools gold
Owning all of the stories, they've been here once before
We'll we've all felt a muzzle hand, behind a slamming door
