Or from my hometown I was torn
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky
I never found out the reason why
Water down the drain goes to the sea
Got a fear of death that creeps on every night
My parents had to lie
About the place that I was born
Water down the drain, I'm wasting away
Cold damp room looks worse than me, no no no
At the tender age of four
Come on down to the ground as the time goes by
Every night for a year I've slept alone
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me
Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me
I know I won't die soon, but then again I might
