Throw My Body

Said I'm sorry
Didn't want to go away
But my love was not true
There was no way I could stay

Tell me deep water
How many lies have you told?
Broken fools are just like me
And the lives you've floated out to sea

So, throw my body in the river
Somebody baptize me
Throw my body in the river
Let the water wash me clean
So, throw my body in the river
Won't the devil let me be?
Cause when my body's gone
You can sing my songs
Just don't forget about me
I'm singin'

Ooh, ooh, ahh
Ooh, ooh

Now I went walkin'
Late the other night
With no direction
Nothing left for me to fight
So, baby, tell me
Where does it all end
Soon as the sun comes up
We start all over again

So, throw my body in the river
Somebody baptize me
Throw my body in the river
Let the water wash me clean
So throw my body in the river
Won't the devil let me be?
Cause when my body's gone
You can sing my songs
Just don't forget about me
I'm singin'

I don't know where this went all wrong
I said my head is aching
And I've waited for far too long

So baby tell me
How does our story end?
The mistakes we make, you know
They get worse when we get
Closer to the end

Throw my body in the river
Somebody baptize me
Throw my body in the river
Let the water wash me clean
So, throw my body in the river
Release me from this crazy dream
Cause when my body's gone
You can sing my songs
Just don't forget about me

Throw my body in the river, ooh
Throw my body in the river, yeah
Throw my body in the river, yeah
Throw my body in the river, ooh
