Tired of sleeping on the sidewalk

Working at the bus stop night 'til morning

Tired and waiting for the sunlight

When it comes, it's still dark where I'm going.

Don't, don't punish me for what I feel

Don't, don't punish me for what I feel.

So I crawled out of the back door

Took off all these tight clothes

Jumped into the water

So I crawled out of the back door

Took off all these tight clothes

Jumped into the water

I jumped into the water

The water.

Vicious demons on the tv

So I sold it on 16th st

But I still hear the drone

Now I'm 'bout to get off this night shift

Do you think I could get a lift?

I don't care where you're going.

Don't, don't punish me for what I feel

Don't, don't punish me for what I feel.

So I crawled out of the back door

Took off all these tight clothes

Jumped into the water

So I crawled out of the back door

Took off all these tight clothes

Jumped into the water

I jumped into the water

The water.

My face was numb, my lungs were sore

But still I swam until my feet could touch the shore

Now I've been sleeping on your porch

I'm still too scared to bust the lock on your door.

So I crawled out of the back door

Took off all these tight clothes

Jumped into the water

So I crawled out of the back door

Took off all these tight clothes

Jumped into the water

I jumped into the water

The water

The water.
