Heavy Water (2006 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull
Written by:Ian Anderson
I walked out in the city night
A burning in my eyes
Like it was broad daylight
And it was hot
Down there in the crowd
The stars went out
Behind a thunder cloud
Chatter in the air
Like a telegraph line
Big drops hissing on the neon sign
Thumping in my heart
And it's hurting me to see
Smokestack blowing now they're pouring
Heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water on me
Heavy water
She was a southern girl
We stared man to man
I move like a stranger
In this strange land
She was a round hole
I was a square peg
I watched the little black specks
Running down her leg
Didn't seem to mind
That dirty rain coming down
Shirt hanging open
She was wet and brown
Thumping in my heart
And it's hurting me to see
Smokestack blowing
Now they're pouring
Heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water
Heavy water
Pouring heavy water
What goes up has to fall back down
It's no night to be out
Dancing in a party town
When it runs hot and it runs so wide
Running in the street
Like a thin black tide
Chatter in the air
Like a telegraph line
Big drops hissing on the neon sign
Thumping in my heart
And it's hurting me to see
Smokestack blowing
Now they're pouring
Heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water on me
Pouring heavy water on me
