this house is a temple sanctified and simple and the chimney leaks in the winter like a mothers lost her head and the water runs red the water runs red i went to the doctor said theres red in the water he looked down on my daughter said a darkness tends to spread and the water runs red the water runs red we work for our children feed their hearts till we fill em but its love thatll kill em having spun em out of thread and the water runs red the water runs red toil and trouble will you make a bed of rubble when the sky falls on the tunnels you been digging through your dread and the water runs red the water runs red i went to the station they said darling whats the occasion i said lies are what you make em and you will never eat my bread and the water runs red the water runs red
