Daniel Lanois     guitar
Malcolm Burn      keyboard
Larry Mullen Jr   drums
Tony Hall         bass
Daryl Johnson     harmonic bass
EbmThe sun burned hot, it burned my eyes 
Burned so hot I thought I'd died 
Thought I'd died and gone to hell 
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well 
I went to the river but the river was dry 
I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky 
I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell 
I saw the water from a deeper well 
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 
I was ready for love I was ready for the money 
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey 
Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell 
Lookin' for the water from a deeper 
well I found some love and I found some money 
Found that blood would drip from the honey 
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell 
Lookin'for the water from a deeper well 
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 
Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith 
I did it for lust and I did it for hate 
I did it for need and I did it for love 
Addiction stayed on tight like a glove 
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night 
And the three of us were a terrible sight 
Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell 
To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 
I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage 
I shook those walls and I rattled that gage 
I took my trouble down a deadend trail 
Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail 
Hey there mama did you carry that load 
Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road 'Bout the rebel yell
'bout the one that fell Lookin' for the water from a deeper well 
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well 
Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well

The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes

Burned so hot I thought I'd died

Thought I'd died and gone to hell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I went to the river but the river was dry

I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky

I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell

I saw the water from a deeper well

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well

I was ready for love I was ready for the money

Ready for the blood and ready for the honey

Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper

well I found some love and I found some money

Found that blood would drip from the honey

Found I had a thirst that I could not quell

Lookin'for the water from a deeper well

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well

Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith

I did it for lust and I did it for hate

I did it for need and I did it for love

Addiction stayed on tight like a glove

So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night

And the three of us were a terrible sight

Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell

To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well

Well...lookin for the water from a deeper well

I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage

I shook those walls and I rattled that gage

I took my trouble down a deadend trail

Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail

Hey there mama did you carry that load

Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road 'Bout the rebel yell
