Bottom of the Slough Video (MV)

I never spent much time in the USA Lord but I've been in some states
The kind that'll leave your head just pounding, and a fog rolling 'round your brain
There was something in the water we were drinking in those days
Mainly hops and yeast and barley and a lime wedge just for taste

And all I know now I have learned in my short time on this earth
Yes for all that came before that was forgotten at my birth
As the walls cave in around me and the chorus starts to sing
I get a sinking feeling I may forget it all again
As the walls cave in around me and the chorus starts its verse
I'm confronted by the fact that one day we all return to dirt

I hope the gods don't hold a grudge for the wicked things that I've done
For the bodies at the bottom of the slough
Oh I know that you were being polite when you told me that one day I'd get it right
But I don't know what it is you think I'll do
About them bodies at the bottom of the slough

Here we go, once again into darkness
I was scared for my friends and I'm scared for all of us
And you say I'll pay the price for the way I've lived my life
I thank the gods that they didn't leave judgement up to you
Here we go

Never spent much time in the USA, but I got friends who say it's nice
I got friends to say the type of things you don't pass off as good advice
There was something in the autumn air that didn't quite seem right
Cistern's run dry and it ain't rained since late July

And all I know, I have learned in my short time on this earth
Yes, for all that came before that was forgotten at my birth
As the walls cave in around me and the chorus starts to sing
I get a sinking feeling I may forget it all again and
As the walls cave in around me and the chorus starts its verse
I'm confronted by the fact that one day we all return to dirt

I hope the gods don't hold a grudge for the wicked things that I've done
For the bodies at the bottom of the slough
Oh I know that you were being polite when you told me that one day I'd get it right
But I don't know what it is you think I'll do
Bout them bodies at the bottom of the slough

Here we go, once again into darkness
I was scared for my friends and now I'm scared for all of us
You say I'll pay the price for the way I've lived my life
I thank the gods that they didn't leave judgement up to you
I thank the gods that they didn't leave judgement up to you
Here we go
Here we go
