Make me a headlight of your love I was fire Said I couldn’t live without water You were water Water to put out the fire I’m just a nail in the house of the universe Drinking Nu-Grape With a five dollar bill They built a temple on a hill By the name of The Rising With Babylon at every nail You’ve got to do a little dying When the old ones fell, oh my God And they painted out their scripture Please don’t cry, it’s only a joke I was fire Said I couldn’t live without water You were water Water to put out the fire I’m just a nail in the house of the universe Drinking Nu-Grape With a five dollar bill I was fire Said I couldn’t live without water You were water Water to put out the fire I’m just a nail in the house of the universe Drinking Nu-Grape With a five dollar bill
