What a shame, what a shame so quick
Life lost so young and missed
When it’s stubbed out suddenly, turned off like the flick of a switch
Once you exit out the back door, can’t come round here no more
No re-entry no return it’s a lesson hard learned
Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down
Burning the water brown and in it's depths you will drown
Well he ran around town with Charlie
Well Charlie only makes you sorry
His tracks all lead to nowhere, still you followed without a care
And you never got enough cause you always bought his bluff
So afraid to come down that you never got back up
Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down
Burning the water brown and in it's depths you will drown
Burning the water brown six feet deep underground
Burning the water brown, will it come again for the next of kin?
You become the company you keep
This water brown it puts you to sleep
Well you become the company you keep
This water brown it's rivers run deep
If you go and chase the dragon,
If you try to date china white
Or if the poison people surround you, it just might end your life
Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down
Burning the water brown and in it's depths you will drown
Burning the water brown, six feet deep underground
Burning the water brown, will it come again for the next of kin?
