Water in Hell Lyrics
11:06 AM
The newspaper ride is hanging like a thread
You're looking for your sailor boy
The music uncertainly, disconcertingly
You're looking for your sailor boy
From what I can tell
There's water in hell
The shuck and jive
The shuck and jive is over
The shuck and jive
The shuck and jive is over
The second time
The second time is over
It's too bad the monkey's on your shoulder
Well the truth be a lion stone cold messiah
It's time to watch the cash roll in
This ain't the kind of man I want to defend
It's the year 2010
From what I can tell
There's water in hell
The shuck and jive
The shuck and jive is over
The shuck and jive
The shuck and jive is over
The second time
The second time got over
It's too bad the monkey's on your shoulder
No one likes to lose
No one likes to lose
There's water in hell
There's water in hell
You're looking for your sailor boy
The music uncertainly, disconcertingly
You're looking for your sailor boy
There's water in hell
The shuck and jive is over
The shuck and jive
The shuck and jive is over
The second time
The second time is over
It's too bad the monkey's on your shoulder
It's time to watch the cash roll in
This ain't the kind of man I want to defend
It's the year 2010
There's water in hell
The shuck and jive is over
The shuck and jive
The shuck and jive is over
The second time
The second time got over
It's too bad the monkey's on your shoulder
No one likes to lose
There's water in hell

Water in hell = relief in bad times?
There's water in other people. Roughly 60%.
-Sartre
"There's water in hell" could be like saying that Hell isn't the fiery underworld that people think it is, that "it's the year 2010" and we should recognize Heaven and Hell as states of existence, not actual places with fixed descriptions.
