Virginia

Take me down to the river side
Just to swim with the reeds
I claw at my blooded eyes
I need to wash out my sins
I have been a better man
Just not today it seems
Question needs no answer back
I twist your words 'till you find
That no man under an attack
Won’t defend his own life
I will turn on every verb
That you ever said
She's pulling me
She's pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
She’s washing me
She's washing me clean
Excuse me sir but I like your catch
The only bird that you saw
The way it stopped even the match
So you just grabbed at its claw
It pierced you right through the skin
So you wrung out its neck
And are you proud you caught a thief?
Who took a life from you once
And are you sure what lies beneath
The only thing you've done wrong?
You're still a coward now
And that will never change
She's pulling me
She's pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
Don't follow me
She's washing me
She’s washing me clean
No, still a coward now
Still a coward now
The kill wasn’t worth the thought
Don't follow me in
That’ll never change
That will never change
She came at me with an honest love
She came at me with her life
She wasn't strong enough to fight
The silent thrust in the night
Pierced her right through the skin
Could finally get out
She's pulling me
She's pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
She’s washing me
She's washing me clean
She's pulling me
She's pulling me
Weights are wrenching me down
Don't follow me
She's washing me
She's washing me clean
No, still a coward now
Still a coward now
The kill wasn't worth the thought
Don't follow me in
That'll never change
That will never change
