They call me crazy But I don't really mind Been seeing visions since I was a child And I am blind I've seen the waters rise Seen the anger in his eyes Seen my daddy come home Heard him shout, and Momma cry: Throw away the bottle Well there's gonna be trouble Throw away the bottle Cos there's a rising tide washing over me Pray the waters come that I may sleep Oh pray the waters come The waters come Cos there's a rising tide washing over me I've seen the waves come a rushing, Tearing the mall to the ground I've seen your daddy in the car Floating past downtown I've seen the bodies pile up, I've seen your momma running I see you my sister Oh throw away your make up Throw away your makeup School's gonna breakup Throw away your makeup Cos there's a rising tide washing over me Pray the waters come that I may sleep Oh pray the waters come The waters come Cos there's a rising tide washing over me Cos there's a rising tide washing over me Pray the waters come that I may sleep Oh pray the waters come The waters come Cos there's a rising tide washing over me
