I've seen you change the water into wine

I sit at your table every night

I try but I just don't get high with you

I wish there was a treaty we could sign

I do not care who takes this bloody hill

Between your love and mine

You were my aerial

But born again is born without a skin
Dm Gsus4 G
The poison enters into everything
