White skin underwater

You know she's somebody's daughter

You know I'm somebody's daughter

I'm here tonight and I want her

I'm here tonight and I've got her

And it's cold in the water

I wonder if I should bother

You know she's somebody's daughter

When she gets old it'll haunt her

I'm here tonight, I have got her

I know I'm in, but I'm out there

Will they ever forgive us?

All wet-lipped and guiltless?

In our heads we're like winners

Though we're just beginners

At some miserable game

Where there's beer and molasses

We'll let the times fly on past us

The whole world, kiss our asses

Through red trees and white trashes
