Water Or Gasoline Lyrics

Water Or Gasoline lyrics

(Linden/Gordon)







On a pencil-lead grey afternoon



Rain makes the stray dog shine



I got a feeling stinging like a new tattoo



Black across my mind



You said something while I was thinking



A far-off dream away



And if I don’t hear you the first time



You just turn and walk away







Oh baby I can’t see you through the steam



Oh baby do you bring me water or gasoline?







I could walk down to the Church of Christ



Hold hands with the preacher and pray



Or hunker on down with a hundred dollar whore



Dolled up in orange lingerie



But they don’t know me baby



They don’t know what I’m living for



All my sins and my salvation



Lead me back to your trap door







Oh baby I can’t see you through the steam



Oh baby do you bring me water or gasoline?







She looks good in a cheap straw hat



With her long hair hanging down



And she used to smile a lot more at me



Before I drug her down to this town



I ain’t looking for no strange angel



No faith-healer’s fainting bliss



I’m just looking for a gap in the traffic baby



Something simple as a kiss







Oh baby I can’t see you through the steam



Oh baby do you bring me water or gasoline?
